Laura Redden - Booth's Misidentified Friend

[Dave Taylor]

Thank you, Anita and Scott, for your kind comments. I'll admit that I'm pretty proud of this one. While the identity of a woman in Booth's pocket isn't much in the grand scheme of things, it feels good to find a piece of the historical puzzle yourself. And I agree with Scott: history is most often done when we look at universally accepted truths and see what holds them up. It's usually far less than what we expect.
