I just finished American Brutus today, and I was left feeling like I wanted to read more, but something of the same caliber! One thing I really did not get a good bead on even by the end was what role Mrs. Surrat REALLY played in the plot. At the "trial" they referred to her and the "mother of the plot," but based on all the facts, I actually found her to be the LEAST involved of the major players. So did many people, apparently. There were inquiries about her sentence of death and why Johnson didn't put a stay on it, for years afterward. My question is one that maybe hasn't been fully answered even now: what role DID Mrs. Surrat play in the whole Booth plot? Pam
