Booth escape route north

[RJNorton]

I think most all authors concede that despite their best efforts errors creep into their books.

Personally I regard Dr. Hanchett's book as being the best there is at explaining and defusing so many of the misconceptions regarding the assassination. In my opinion Dr. Hanchett's work is the definitive book that puts to rest many of the myths regarding Abraham Lincoln's assassination. I realize the book was written 30 years ago, and Dr. Hanchett has since modified his position on the Confederate theory (he's now a proponent I believe), but I still feel it is the best book to read for anyone curious about all the theories that have been expounded over the years (IMO).
