- | + | Hello, Mr. Redford As the great-great-grandaughter of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, I am very, very pleased to fanlily see someone take an interest in this chapter of U.S. history. It is such a fascinating case during what must have been the most tumultuous of times; to think that a miltary court would decide the guilt or innocence of ordinary citizens! As you may know, my g-g-grandfather, Senator Reverdy Johnson was a long-term representative & constitutional lawyer from MD; he served as U.S. Attorney General in Zachary Taylor' s administration & it was he, at his own professional & personal peril, who first questioned the legality of this tribunal involving Mrs. Surratt, et al. While I believe that the outcome of this or any other trial at that time of upheaval & strife would have been the same I've always envisioned the public clamoring for a swift & bloody justice no matter what the actual circumstances I am so proud of my g-g-grandfather for raising his voice & speaking out on behalf of ordinary people citizens, like you & me. I look forward to seeing your film & I sincerely thank you for bringing this story to the public's attention. |
