Description:Eight people were tried and convicted at the conspiracy trial following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Four were hung. The other four were sentenced to prison at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas Islands off the west coast of Florida. One of the four sent to Fort Jefferson was Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, a young 31 year-old Southern Maryland physician who had fixed the broken leg of Lincoln’s assassin John Wilkes Booth. This book is the story of Dr. Mudd’s life at Fort Jefferson, and afterwards. Edman Spangler, Samuel Arnold, and Michael O’Laughlen were the other three men sentenced to Fort Jefferson with Dr. Mudd. Their stories are also told here since their lives at Fort Jefferson are interwoven with Dr. Mudd’s.
