Ray Neff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Ray Neff is an American chemist at Indiana State University and the leading proponent of an alternative history theory about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and his killer John Wilkes Booth.
Neff is the co-author of Dark Union along with Leonard Guttridge. The book proposes an alternative theory to the conventional version of Lincoln's assassination. It implicates Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton in the assassination conspiracy and suggests John Wilkes Booth escaped, another body having been substituted in his place. This theory is in marked contrast with the version of the assassination proposed by Edward Steers, Jr..
Neff is also one of many historians who traces the roots of Lincoln's assassination to the Dahlgren Affair - one of very few areas where he and Steers agree.
