In his first book Don Thomas writes, "A clue to how Stanton recruited Booth is revealed in the hidden confession given by George Atzerodt." (from p. 73)

Mike, you seriously think it is irrefutable that Edwin Stanton recruited John Wilkes Booth?

Dr. William Hanchett's closing sentences in The Lincoln Murder Conspiracies are as follows: "Lincoln would not have enjoyed the extravagant and pseudoreligious praise being offered in his name by so many Americans. Possibly he would have been reminded of some anecdote by which to deflate the absurdities of such exaggerations. But one suspects that if he could learn of the slush written about the suggested involvement of his secretary of war in his own death he would simply become angry."

IMO, Dr. Hanchett nailed it.
