Garrett's Barn

[John Stanton]

Garrett would have collected for his loss but he could not and did not sign a statement that he was loyal to the US in the war and that he would pledge his allegience to the US. I found this info in the CIS (Congressional Information System - which is a list of all Bills that were ever presented to the Congress). I don't know where to find some place that has the System. I used it in the Pentagon Library, in one of the many basements under the Pentagon. Anybody know where there is one?

They weren't ever compensated, although they did file a claim with the government. Here is a copy of the congressional report about the claim, which was denied.

Thanks, Rob! That's what I thought -- but I could not find the report.

Thanks bunches!

I, too had heard that Edwin Booth paid the tab -- but was just wondering how much.....
