John Harrison Surratt, Jr., was a courier for the Confederate Secret Service and the only one of John Wilkes Booth’s co-conspirators in the Lincoln assassination plot to escape hanging by the U.S. government. Fleeing vengeful authorities in the wake of the assassination, Surratt traveled through three continents and served in the Papal Zouaves before being arrested in Egypt. His 1867 trial was a sensation, ending in a hung jury. Upon his release, he sought a quiet life away from the spotlight but privately suffered the consequences of his acts. The most complete study of Surratt’s life to date, this book addresses many unanswered questions and considers theories that have received little attention.
