Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mystery of John Wilkes Booth: A Story of the Martyr President
As soon as evening approached, Booth and Harold slipped their horses from the stable, mounted and rode away in the direction of Allens Fresh.
Below Evanstown run certain deep and slimy swamps, along the belt of which they were slowly and carefully picking their way as well as the dark ness of night would permit, when they suddenly espied the form of a man coming toward them. Harold, Who had grown a little nervous, started slightly until he saw that the individ ual approaching was one of the negroes whose obtuse minds, though possessing a low cunning, would be too blunt for the detection of guilt. Booth, who now took the lead in all things, called out to the negro and asked: Hello, my man, what are you do ing in the edge of this swamp?
