Who is this man in the weird hat and dark glasses? His name is Bob Allen, he lives in Eldersburg, and he is reputed to have in his possession several missing pages from the diary of John Wilkes Booth.
~~~~~ Back in the mid to late 1980s I devoted several years to reading about and researching the Lincoln assassination for a lengthy novel on the life and crimes of John Wilkes Booth. And when I say devoted, I’m not exaggerating. I worked on this project in an almost nonstop, manic-depressive fervor for about three years. I finished the novel, but I’m embarrassed to say how long it was. I will say that I once dropped it on my foot and broke three toes.
The manuscript was under contract twice (first with Doubleday and later with St. Martin’s Press) but never got published – which is a whole other, dismal story for another time and place.
I’ve since written off the entire endeavor as a big life lesson about earnest endeavors that go awry. Fortunately, I did eventually find an outlet for my impressive reservoir of information about the still-controversial circumstances and particulars surrounding the death of our 16th — and probably greatest — President.
