RE: Where was John Surratt on April 14, 1865 ?
I just broke the bubble of a college professor last week. He contacted me regarding a book that he is writing on John Surratt and had been using this fake book as his primary source! He knew of Fr. Isacsson's work on Surratt, but was unaware of Jampoler's Schein's, and Hatch's. Once I swore on my mother's grave that Haco's work was pure fiction, I think I convinced him to throw it away.

I often have to offer alternatives to some of the "quick and dirty" publications that were put out immediately after (or during) the arrests and trial - such as Terrible Tragedy at Washington and others done by Barclay & Co. They are not trustworthy either because they were aimed at making money off of the assassination. Just as rude and crude as some forms of social media today.
