The Montreal Link

[Barry Sheehy]

Not sure but the Meeting at the Parker House involved several persons using Canadian departure points including H.V. Clinton who later turns up at St Lawrence Hall in Montreal. Clinton is probably an alias but he it's pretty clear he was associated with the CSS. The Parker House meeting was where Booth was introduced to the Lincoln kidnapping project, which then required a follow-up meeting in Montreal to arrange
logistics, financing and letters of introduction to the courier lines through southern Maryland. We know Booth was involved in smuggling medicine (quinine) into the Confederacy and this activity would have almost certainly predated the Parker House meeting. Not familiar withe Miller and Martin meeting in New Orleans.
