There were many facts I never heard in school although my minor in college was American History; especially the Civil War Era. I never knew that 5 people were executed for this crime if you include Booth who died while being arrested. I know that the saying ;Your name will be mud; comes from the association of Dr. Mudd in setting Booth's leg, even though he did not know of the assissnation at the time but had been aware of the plan to knidnap Lincoln. I have always thought and continue to believe that Abraham Lincoln was the greatest president in history and I thank Mr. Berry for giving me this very well written story of all the events associated with this horrible part of our history.
