I am seriously enjoying Dave's videos. I worried somewhat when I saw the first one's lead shot with Dave looking a little tipsy and holding up his hand at the back of the Surratt House. I quickly counted his fingers to make sure there were more than one being held up to the camera, and then I breathed a sigh of relief! But then his facial expression, coupled with that hand movement, reminded me of an old-time gangster -- "Y'a wanna me to finish the job, Don Leon, concrete boots and chains off Pier 99?"

Joking aside, I have seriously considered having a pizza party for my volunteers at Surratt House and showing the video plus inviting Dave to join and add in as a fun way of training.

I'm pretty late to the game here, but thank you all for the kind words regarding my John Wilkes Booth in the Woods project. There still a lot more to come, I've just been pretty busy with school lately.

Your videos are great, Dave! I've really enjoyed watching them, and can't wait to see the rest on Boothie Barn. Very entertaining! I've shared your videos with my family; we're all Boothie fans.

(Sure wrong) Thomas Eckert?

Dave Taylor · 05-22-2014, 06:21 AM

Not Eckert, Eva.

Here's another picture of the same man:

Ward Hill Lamon?

Dave Taylor · 05-22-2014, 06:14 PM

Sorry for the delay (work). It is not Ward Hill Lamon.

Here's another picture of the man (he's aging before our eyes!):

Judge David Davis?

Dave Taylor · 05-22-2014, 07:56 PM

Nope, not him.

Hint: He is connected to the conspiracy trial

Albion P. Howe?

Dave Taylor · 05-23-2014, 07:01 AM

I'm afraid not, Roger.

Hint: Roger previously posted a younger image of this man in this thread.

Dave Taylor · 05-23-2014, 07:35 PM

Here's the picture that Roger put up of this man:

Is it Benjamin Perley Poore? Huh

YES! Wonderful job, Paige. These images are of the editor and publisher, Benjamin Perley Poore, who published a verbatim copy of the conspiracy trial. I discovered the first two images of Poore while I have been going through the images of Mathew Brady at the National Archives:
