Booth escape tale and Garrett barn killing debate
A long, dispute laden account outlines Booth Herold Ruddy and Bainbridge Ruggles actions after Lincoln’s assassination. It questions who was killed at Garrett's barn, cites St Helen Bates Gouldman testimony, Rollins ferrying, Mosby command, and conflicting dates. The piece argues Booth did not die there and recounts Booth’s alleged postwar travels.
