The Montreal Link

[L Verge]

I hope that Mr. Sheehy does not mind that Ed Steers sent me an early draft of the article that will (in my opinion) add fuel to the fire in reference to the inordinate amount of folks from a wide variety of interests - North and South - that just happened to be in Montreal at the same time over the course of late-1864 to early-1865. Everything may not be tied up in a big, red bow, but there are certainly some damning coincidences. If we could only prove all of these ties, I suspect that we would find that this was not our country's finest hour -- and it certainly had lots of distinguished and guilty leaders on both sides of the War Between the States.

P.S. It did my heart good to see the mention of Ferdinand and Benjamin Wood of New York politics and journalism. In addition to Judah Benjamin, they are some that I would like to see near the head of the Lincoln conspiracy. I wonder how some folks would react to proof that the conspiracy was a joint effort between the North and South (and that is just me speculating)?
