註釋
Lincoln Assassin Who Got Away is the book to read during the 150th anniversary year of the Lincoln Assassination. Previous books and films have focused on the triggerman, John Wilkes Booth, or the military trial of the conspirators and the hanging of Mary E. Surratt, John Surratt's mother, but no major book has focused on this bold and clever Confederate Secret Service agent who was Booth's closest associate during the four months leading up to the assassination. Surratt is the man who met with the Confederate high command just weeks prior to the assassination! Adding to the intrigue, Surratt's two-year run from the law is a fascinating adventure, spanning the globe from New York to Canada, Great Britain, France, Italy and Egypt. At one point Surratt joined the Pope's army in Italy, until he was unmasked by a former acquaintance who tracked him across the ocean and the European Continent. Arrested by order of the Pope, Surratt escaped by a daring leap over a parapet into a chasm.
