The Life of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd
Dr. Samuel A. Mudd was a 32-year-old country doctor when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. He treated Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, for a fractured leg without knowing Booth's true identity, or that Lincoln had been assassinated. For that deed, he was tried and convicted by a military court and sentenced to life in prison at Fort Jefferson Prison in Florida. He was later pardoned and released by President Andrew Johnson. This is Mudd's fascinating true life story, with notes on his descendants. [Reprinted in facsimile from the 1906 edition, with additions in 1975 by Richard Dyer Mudd.]
