Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Dr Samuel Mudd at Fort Jefferson written by Robert Summers and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private James Forsythe, 5th U.S. Artillery, was the first to die. Private Joseph Enits died next, on August 30th. The yellow fever spread to Company L and to the officers' servants. Company I, housed in the barracks adjoining the hospital, was then attacked. Company M escaped the plague until September 7th when 30 men were stricken. The fort's doctor, Joseph Sim Smith, contracted the disease on September 5th. This was all happening at Fort Jefferson, a military fortress located on an island in the Gulf of Mexico, about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida, and 90 miles north of Havana, Cuba. Three-hundred thirteen soldiers, 54 prisoners, and 20 civilians, a total of 387 people, were at the fort. Two-hundred seventy of them contracted yellow fever. Thirty-eight died. Four of the 54 prisoners were men who had been convicted of conspiracy in the 1865 Lincoln assassination trial. They were Samuel Arnold, Michael O'Laughlen, Edman Spangler, and Dr. Samuel A. Mudd. When Dr. Smith fell ill, the fort's commander, Major Valentine Stone, sent an emissary to Key West to ask Dr. Daniel Whitehurst to come help. Whitehurst had once been a civilian contract doctor at the fort. Stone knew he would come, but he needed help right away. He went to see Dr. Mudd. Would he help until Dr. Whitehurst arrived? Dr. Mudd said "Yes," and went to work.Dr. Whitehurst arrived the next day. For the next three weeks, he and Dr. Mudd together worked day and night to treat those afflicted with the disease. On October 1st, Dr. Whitehurst was relieved by Dr. Edward Thomas, a civilian contract doctor from New York. Dr. Mudd himself contracted the disease on October 4th, but survived.Many people's lives had been saved by Drs. Mudd and Whitehurst. Three hundred grateful soldiers signed a petition to President Andrew Johnson asking him to pardon Dr. Mudd. It said in part:"He inspired the hopeless with courage, and by his constant presence in the midst of danger and infection, regardless of his own life, tranquilized the fearful and desponding."Johnson ignored the petition, but did eventually pardon Dr. Mudd in February 1869 just before his presidential term expired.This book tells the story of Dr. Mudd's involvement in the Lincoln assassination saga, his imprisonment at Fort Jefferson, his life-saving work during the horrific 1867 yellow fever epidemic, and his life after returning home. It is a story of the redemption of a man who had lost everything -- his home, family, children, reputation, and freedom -- only to recover everything by risking his life, and almost losing it, to save the lives of those who imprisoned him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Samuel A. Mudd is famous for fixing the broken leg of President Abraham Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth, and subsequently being convicted of conspiring with Booth, along with seven others, in a military trial. He spent four years in a military prison before being pardoned by President Andrew Johnson. Sam Mudd was leading a charmed life before becoming involved with Booth. He had been born into a prosperous Maryland tobacco plantation family, received an excellent education (except for one unfortunate incident at Georgetown College), married well, and received a farm, home, and slaves from his father as a wedding present. Then came the Civil War, the loss of farm income due to the emancipation of slaves in Maryland, two meetings with John Wilkes Booth, and then Booth's sudden appearance at the Mudd farm in the middle of the night seeking help for a broken leg. Booth was later shot and killed by Union Soldiers who had tracked him into Virginia. Dr. Mudd was convicted for aiding Booth's escape by misleading those hunting Booth, telling them he didn't know the man with the broken leg was Booth. But evidence at the trial showed he knew Booth well. The book explores why he misled the authorities. The book describes Dr. Mudd's time at Fort Jefferson, including his attempted escape that landed him in the dungeon, and his heroic work that saved many lives during a terrible yellow fever epidemic at the fort. He was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson in early 1869, in part for his work during the epidemic. After returning home to his wife and children, Dr. Mudd resumed his life as a country doctor and farmer, until passing away in 1883.
