RE: Assassination Trivia
That is sure an excellent guess, Gene, but that is also not the right person.

RE: Assassination Trivia
Could it be Otto Eisenschiml?? I believe he wrote a rather controversial book about the assassination.

RE: Assassination Trivia
I just wanted to post the same guess (thinking of "Why was Lincoln Murdered" - maybe he, like Cesar in "De Bello Gallico", spoke about himself in 3rd person singular?)!

RE: Assassination Trivia
Brilliant, Paige and Eva! It was indeed Otto Eisenschiml.
Source: "Otto Eisenschiml's Dance With The Truth" by Dr. Blaine Houmes in the October 2003 Surratt Courier. You both win my very best wishes for a wonderful Sunday. |

RE: Assassination Trivia
Yes, you are 5 hours different, and Sunday is now late in the day in Kiel. Therefore, as I feel guilty in awarding such an insubstantial prize, I shall award you a different prize - the book entitled "What did Edwin Stanton Know and When Did He Know It?" No publication date has yet been announced, but I will send when it's available. I shall send Paige a copy, also.

RE: Assassination Trivia
I'm sorry, Roger, I just wanted to delete my ungrateful comment - good wishes are always a great prize! It's just that right today I thought I might fall asleep untypically soon as I didn't sleep well the past two nights, so I had already drawn a line under the day, and your prize made me smile!

RE: Assassination Trivia
Was this to have been the date of the failed attempted kidnapping of Lincoln on his way to the Soldiers' Home?

RE: Assassination Trivia
John Surratt, David Herold, and George Atzerodt took the weapons to be hidden at the Surratt Tavern. It was a close call as detective John C. Atzerodt was in there drinking at the time.

RE: Assassination Trivia
OK. Then I will say John Surratt, Louis Weichmann, George Atzerodt, and David Herold attended Ford's Theatre and saw JWB as Pescara in The Apostate.
