Thomas Jones

[scldrgnfly]

The article didn't appear right away on my phone. Oops! I guess I am wrong about Thomas A. Jones' death??? BUT to tell the truth, the picture there doesn't really look like the picture in Thomas A. Jones' memoirs does it? The picture in the memoirs, to me, looks like he was always a rather thin individual.

Cool article!

LOL, Betty!!! I love this!! The past really DOES look like,a different country!!! That is a GREAT find, Betty!!

And this discussion is GREAT, too!

Does anybody wonder about the fact that they kept Booth and Herold lingering in the "pine thicket" about a week and the x-Mosby/ Confederate dudes just happened to be about on the other side?? We already know how much "The Oath of Allegiance" meant to them. Meaning, Mosby's crew was always "skedadaling (sp.?)" weren't they?

Did they just not want Booth to be caught in Maryland? And to tell you truth, how smart would it really have been to have taken Lincoln towards Richmond with all of the Union troops and Generals on that side of the Potomac? Regardless of the fact of Richmond's "imminent" fall...which of course had become a fete a' complet, by the time JWB's crew had made their move.

Ha! Ha! They must not have had the Internet or the Surratt Society, ...or the RJ Norton Lincoln Symposium on their trail!!
