Description:THE ASSASSIN'S DOCTOR is a large 730 page reference book about the life of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, one of eight persons convicted in the 1865 Abraham Lincoln assassination trial. The book describes Dr. Mudd's involvement with the assassin John Wilkes Booth, and includes the full text of all the most important historical documents concerning Dr. Mudd. Researchers and students will find the assembly of all these documents in one convenient place especially helpful. Dr. Mudd was convicted by a 5-4 vote of a military commission, a vote which would have freed him in a civilian trial. Evidence not available at the time of the trial, and included now in THE ASSASSIN'S DOCTOR, would certainly have altered the vote of the military commission.Dr. Mudd's guilt or innocence has been debated since 1865. Was he guilty of any involvement with John Wilkes Booth in planning and carrying out the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln? Was he guilty of conspiracy to help Booth escape capture after the assassination? Was he guilty of involvement in Booth's earlier plot to kidnap President Lincoln? The body of evidence assembled in THE ASSASSIN'S DOCTOR shows the answers to these questions to be No, Yes, and Probably.Most accounts of Dr. Mudd concern his involvement in the Lincoln assassination, but do not include much about his life before the assassination or after the trial. THE ASSASSIN'S DOCTOR fills in these gaps. His life as a doctor/farmer/slave-owner, his incarceration in the Fort Jackson military prison, the yellow fever epidemic, and his life after being pardoned are all covered in detail.THE ASSASSIN'S DOCTOR should find a place on the reference shelf of anyone interested in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
