@@haydenwittig8877 It's a military base right now so you might be able to tour it with special permission but you can't just walk in there like you would with the Smithsonian or Ford's Theater (both places have relics from the civil war/and the assassination/imprisonment of the conspirators). I live close to DC but I've never been to Fort McNair so someone who has been there can probably give a more accurate/specific response.
According to the book The Lincoln Conspiracy by David Balsiger published in 1977 Booth escaped Washington DC with a smuggler friend named Ed Henson and NOT David Herold. The book also says that Lewis Thornton Powell and Lewis Payne were 2 different people and although Lewis Powell carried out the attack on Steward Lewis Payne was found guilty. The book says confession statements by O'Laughlin and Atzerodt state that Payne and Powell were separate individuals. Evidence indicates that Payne was arrested and framed for his cousin, Powell's evil deed. Is any of this true? These facts in The Lincoln Conspiracy book differ from what I have read in all the other Lincoln Assassination books. The Lincoln Conspiracy book also says a man named James William Boyd was killed in Garrett's barn ant NOT Booth. Is that true?..,.,
So many Confederate myths abound AFTER they lost the Civil War. Most of their post war literature is not worth reading unless you enjoy reading mythology with an underpinning of wishful thinking.
You might be interested that in 1977/78 an A to Z compendium on assassination in America for the HSCA, included a full forensic workup by the FBI on Booth's 64Datebook/65Journal: you need see this as I can't do it justice in so small a space, except to say the booklet was unbound, printer's page by page forms, pages were sliced out, some pages hand trace copied one sheet on top of others, some pages missing altogether, other pages were glued onto the stubs of pages that were previously sliced out, then rebound (probably aboard Saugus sailing, fast as possible) to be presented to Stanton by Conger for that $50K bounty. Few even know about this and nobody accounts for it in the several thousand books about what happened in 1865 = can't be the full story no matter what the authors claim.
Good Job,Betty!

Wasn't Grant President in October 1869?
By 'flowery language' I'm assuming you mean pushing up daisies.
