GDG- "Loose Bolts Sink....."

[Tom Ryan]

Dennis,

	If you have not already read it, I would recommend Chapter 13 of "Come
Retribution"  which is called "Development of a Plan."  It goes into
considerable detail about who and what was involved in the plan to kidnap
Lincoln.  The subsequent chapters flesh out the plan.

Tom

Hello,

   Thanks, Tom.  The documents that are used for this conclusion that links
the CSA to the plot is what I am looking for.
