The Deed
The prime source of material on the deed remains the Warren Commission Report. A few interesting extras are listed below.
Sequence of events as
reported by six witnesses in first two limousines
Observations of six Secret Service agents
What Howard Brennan really saw
The Sibert-O'Neill report on the autopsy
Witness recollections from No More Silence, by Larry A. Sneed (Three
Forks Press, 1998)
With this book, Larry Sneed has constructed an extremely
valuable "Oral History of the Assassination of President Kennedy," as
his subtitle states. Even though the statements were taken 30 years after the
assassination, they provide a fresh and important perspective of what it was
actually like to be there. Of course, memories of details begin to dim well
before 30 years, as will be seen by the occasional contradictions among these
statements, but the new information and the feelings of immediacy that they
present far outweigh this problem, in my judgment. I will post as many of the 39
statements as time permits (all with permission from Mr. Sneed). Enjoy!
