About this title

Synopsis

On April 15, 1865, Dr. Samuel Mudd treated the broken leg of John Wilkes Booth just hours after Booth murdered President Lincoln. Learning of the assassination, Mudd failed to turn booth over to local authorities. Since that time, a controversy has simmered regarding Mudd’s innocence or complicity in the conspiracy. Arguing forcefully and with the weight of great evidence, Dr. Edward Steers proves how mistaken modern efforts to exonerate Mudd are. Mudd knew booth well; he had entertained him as an overnight guest just months prior to the assassination. Mudd even plotted with Booth to capture Lincoln, and introduced Booth to key conspirators.
