The Life of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd
Did Samuel Mudd have prior knowledge of the impending assassination of Abraham Lincoln and willingly provide aid to John Wilkes Booth after Lincoln's murder? Historians are still divided over this issue nearly 140 years later. In 1906, Nettie Mudd published this passionate plea for her father's innocence. It includes testimony from Mudd's trial and letters written to and by him from Fort Jefferson, where he was imprisoned until 1869. Though President Andrew Johnson pardoned Mudd, the family continued to try to get the conviction overturned. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were both sympathetic to the cause but claimed no authority in the matter. The Supreme Court has refused to hear the case. Not only is this book a well-reasoned case for Mudd's acquittal, it's a fascinating look into the Mudd family and the early attempts to clear his name. The letters from Mudd to his adored wife are very revealing of at least a part of Mudd's character. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample. This edition is Expanded, Annotated.

The Life of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd
Dr. Mudd was one of eight persons convicted of conspiracy in the 1865 assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Four of those convicted were immediately executed. The other four, including Dr. Mudd, were sent to the Fort Jefferson military prison in the Dry Tortugas islands. These islands lie about 70 miles west of Key West Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. Havana, Cuba lies about 90 miles south of the prison. Fort Jefferson was the most remote and desolate military prison in the United States. The Life of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd was written by his daughter Nettie Mudd in 1906, forty-one years after the assassination. Her purpose in writing it was to vindicate the name of her father. The book rema...
His Name was Mudd
The arrest, conviction and exile of Dr. Mudd to a military prison for providing emergency medical care to an injured patient is first of all here viewed from a medical standpoint, taking into account privileged communication between doctor and patient. Circumstances surrounding Booth's unexpected middle of the night arrival at the doctor's home, in light of the political events at war's end, are also carefully examined. It was known at the time of his trial that Mudd was a Southern sympathizer, slaveowner, and Booth acquaintance. Mudd treated Booth for wounds--a broken leg and injured back--which no law required reporting.

The Doctor's Slaves
All of the historical accounts of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd's life focus on his conviction as one of the eight persons tried for conspiracy in the 1865 assassination of president Abraham Lincoln. But Dr. Mudd was also a farmer who relied on slave labor to plant and harvest his tobacco crops. This book is the story of the lives of those men and women. Dr. and Mrs. Mudd acquired at least nine slaves between 1859 and 1864. Their first five slaves were documented in the 1860 Federal Slave Census. They were a 26-year-old man, a 19-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy, an 8-year-old girl, and a 6-year-old girl. The 26-year-old man was Elzee Eglent. The 19-year-old woman was his sister, Mary Simms. The 14-yea...
