Identification of Booth's body

[AussieMick]

Mike, You can write whatever you want but why distort the truth? You continually say that Booth was on the run for 10 days. Every website I look at says it was 12 days. Lincoln shot on the 14th. Booth dies on 26th.

I know you want to make out that his time between the assassination and his own death was not much more than a brief holiday jaunt, visiting friends for slap-up meals ( how do you know how many times he got fed?), and sometimes sleeping peacefully under the stars. Being supplied with an 'extra blanket' (wow! luxury!).

You write "He spent at least three nights indoors, and quite possibly four. This was spring time and the temperatures were not harsh. When he did sleep outdoors, he slept among many trees and under their cover."

I see that Maryland's April temperature average 5.8C at night. April is known to be a month of rain. Have you ever slept 'among trees' for just one night ? There aint that much cover. How about riding and walking with one of your legs busted and (using that word you're so fond of) 'possibly' gangrenous for more than a week. I guess that American actors were a hardy breed in those days, rough and tough.

That bit about 10-12 inches of hair ? As far as I know, none of those that saw his body immediately after death referred to the length of his hair. And yet you keep quoting one person (out of several) that saw Booth's cadaver many years after death.

(Still waiting on the date of that dental chart)
