By Finis L. Bates. Published by J.L. Nichols & Co., Naperville, ILL., 1907. 309pp., ills. Red glazed cloth, measuring 7.75 x 5.75”. Exhibits light external wear & yellowing of pages. This book advances the thesis that John Wilkes Booth escaped the Union dragnet following the Lincoln assassination, living the remainder of his life in the west, under the assumed names of John St. Helen & David E. George. Eventually committing suicide in Enid, OK, in 1903. Over time, this eccentric thesis and its eccentric author have become part of the extensive folklore surrounding the Lincoln assassination. Scarce collectible.
