ANNOUNCEMENT

August 26, 2013

by Barry Cauchon

Hi all: John Elliot and I have been research partners for four years. We’ve developed a great friendship and thoroughly enjoyed working together making discoveries and sharing them with you. Our main goal for partnering was to produce a book about the incarceration and punishments of the Lincoln conspirators called “Inside the Walls: The Final Days of the Lincoln Conspirators”. Due to heavy work schedules, for the most part, the book was just not getting done. So we have decided to make a change that will allow for the project to come to fruition. The following announcement will explain the details. John will post the same on his Facebook page “Inside the Walls”.

With warm regards

Barry

ANNOUNCEMENT

After several years of enjoying a successful research venture together, John and Barry have agreed to dissolve their partnership and pursue individual interests. Largely due to Barry’s work schedule, the goal of writing and publishing Inside the Walls: The Final Days of the Lincoln Conspirators became a difficult task to manage. 

After a short period of discussion, the two mutually agreed on a plan. Moving forward John will take complete ownership of the book Inside the Walls: The Final Days of the Lincoln Conspirators, writing it himself. Barry will concentrate on writing and publishing smaller independent supplements as time permits.

John will also take full ownership of the name Inside the Walls, the Facebook page and the website (currently under construction). 

John and Barry will continue to share their common interests, maintain their friendship, and look forward to ongoing associations with the research community, which has been so kind and welcoming. Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you for having supported our mutual endeavors. 

Kind Regards, 

Barry Cauchon & John Elliott

Inside the Walls Book Update Announcement

October 7:  Barry Cauchon.

By Monday, October 11, John Elliott and I will be emailing out a long awaited update on our book called Inside the Walls: The Final Days of the Lincoln Conspirators. Over the past year, many of my great followers from here, and from our Facebook page, have signed up for these updates. We have collected quite a large list and are now ready to share our progress with you. 

There is a lot of new stuff to report. Least of which is that John has created a new website (yet to be built) dedicated to Inside the Walls. We both have new email addresses which we will share with you in the update letter. My current blog email at outreach@awesometalks.com will still remain active however. 

It has been a few months since our last update so you haven’t missed anything recently. These detailed updates are only shared with those who have requested them by email. If you are not on our ITW Book Update List and wish to receive updates, please send an email at outreach@awesometalks.com with “BOOK” in the subject line. Leave your email address, and name if you like, and I’ll be sure to include you. This list is strictly used for our own purposes and will not be shared with others.

If you believe you are already on the list but don’t receive the update by October 11, please write me again so I can forward it to you.

John and I are both humbled and grateful for the tremendous interest shown in our book. As well, we cannot begin to thank the numerous members of the Lincoln Research Community who have shared parts of their own research and knowledge with us. Their encouragement and involvement with this project have been nothing short of amazing. They have given us the material needed to bring the content of our book to a level we never imagined a year ago. I can assure you that our dedication page will be a lengthy one.

We look forward to updating you.

Have a great day.

Best

INSIDE THE WALLS on Facebook

December 12, 2009: Barry Cauchon:

Join us at INSIDE THE WALLS on Facebook!!!

My writing partner John Elliott and I are producing a book (and possibly a documentary)on the Lincoln conspirators and their experiences inside the walls of the various prisons (in particular, the Old Arsenal Penitentiary) where they were held before, during and after their trial.  As you know, some of the conspirators were hanged almost immediately after the trial ended while others were sent away to Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas (off the Florida Keys) to serve out their sentences. Our book will not only cover these elements of the story but also include the forensic study of the ten Alexander Gardner photos that were taken of the executions on July 7, 1865. Plus much much more.

We wanted to let you know that we have now set up a page on Facebook called INSIDE THE WALLS which we encourage you to join as fans. It will allow you to keep up to date on what is happening with our project(s), ask questions or join into our Discussion Board.

Just sign into Facebook and then search for Inside the Walls. When you get there, join up as a FAN and you are in. We look forward to seeing you there.

Note, as some folks are not comfortable being on Facebook but still want to be kept informed of our progress, please send me an email at outreach@awesometalks.com with your name and email address. In the subject line write the word BOOK and I will add you to this update list.

We look forward to seeing you on INSIDE THE WALLS  and talking to you about the Lincoln conspiracy. We want to hear what you have to say so please tell us your thoughts and ask any questions you may have. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll do our best to find out as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Best

Barry
