Do you know of any post-Ft. Jefferson photos taken of Dr. Sam?

Sorry Laurie, I don't know of any. I think if any such photo existed, Nettie would have published it in her 1906 book. In more recent years, Dr. Richard Mudd, Louise Arehart, and other family members involved in establishing the Dr. Mudd House Museum would surely have contributed any photos they had of Dr. Mudd for display in the Museum. Nevertheless, an unknown photo of Dr. Mudd may well lie in a forgotten file drawer somewhere, just waiting to be discovered.
