Fascinating, as always. I had no idea that is where the term "your name is mudd" came from! I love finding out the origins of the phrases we use. You shared a lot of things I didn't know, so thank you so much! Hugs!
I believe that Roger Mudd the news anchor was related to him a great-great-grandson or maybe 3 greats He was a news anchor in Washington DC for yrs I remember seeing him on the news.
When I was stationed in Florida, a couple of Dr. Mudd's descendants lived in our community. They were staging campaigns to clear Dr. Mudd's name, they told a very different story :) Thank you for doing all of these videos
I truly appreciate that. We have a video where we walk around DC on the events that were happening the night Lincoln was shot. I take you behind Fords Theater where John Wilkes Booth made his escape.
I got one. "To the Dickens with you!". Americans hating on Charles Dickens because he implied Washington DC was a cesspool. Thanks for the fabulous video!
Awesome video, thanks! One correction...the spot where the "Assassin's End" sign is was not the site of the Garrett farm. The farm is actually about a mile north of that location in the median between the north and south lanes of 301. I hate the fact that those who placed the sign at this spot know that it is not the location. Historical accuracy went out the window. There used to be a sign showing a trail to the site at the actual location. It appears the powers that be are discouraging people from stopping there to see it. Anyway, the video is still much appreciated!
I live right around the corner from the mudd farm ( original name is saint Catherine) his descendants still owns the land and huge landowners in Charles county MD
Some stayed on as paid servants for a couple years then moved on, some immediately left after emancipation. But he really had no say on their lives as he went to jail shortly after the Lincoln Assassination.
@@WalkwithHistory my family includes Luke Gardiner who got married in St.Mary's in 1674, I haven't been there but would love to. He was a Captain in the Militia and my 9th Great Grandfather
Dr. Samuel Alexander Mudd was release from in 1869. He returned in Maryland in 1869. And I think he learn his lesson. And I like him, when is a good doctor in Maryland.

I did learn something today. There’s proof that an old man can learn. There’s hope for me. 😂. As always enjoy your videos. Cheers 🍻
LOL, love your comments and thank you for watching.
I learned a lot. I didn't know Mudd's association with Booth and the conspirators.
Great! So much to learn…next time I’ll make it up there when it’s actually open. 😉
I liked this one!

True!!!
What did he do with his slaves?
Some stayed on as paid servants for a couple years then moved on, some immediately left after emancipation. But he really had no say on their lives as he went to jail shortly after the Lincoln Assassination.

It's not true! "Your name is mad" was a common phrase before the Civil War.
It was not common but used in England. This historic event refined its meaning and widespread use in America. Thank you for watching.
