"Lincoln's assasination was instigated by men high in the order of the Knights of the Golden Circle, said to have been a branch of Freemasonry, flourishing in the North as well as in the South...(John Wilkes) Boothe escaped from the Garret Farm through the aid of this order and lived in exile until 1879....I present my reasons for believing as I do. I realize that there are gaps in my story due to the fact that many who knew it have died, but particularly because nearly all written evidence has beemn deliberately destroyed. I hope the what has been left me,...will help piece the facts together and solve for once and for all the mystery around John Wilkes Boothe."-the author's preface.
