Path of the assassins

[Rhatkinson]

I highly recommend Dave's excellent post on bothiebarn.com from yesterday where he (for some reason) WALKED the route that B and H took from Dr. Mudd's to Sawnn's (they at least used horses!) As with all of Dave's stuff, it was great.

One of the things that I learned was that Swann was not black as I had always assumed. He was actually a mix of Native American and white. As some on here know, one of my theories over the leg break location debate is that Swann was the source that Capt. Wood mentioned in his report and that he recanted after getting heat from Col. Cox's supporters (thus to explain Wood's aggravation over his "source" changing his story.) Since Swann must have appeared white (I guess) perhaps my theory of a minority giving in to pressure from whites is wrong.

Has a picture of Swann ever surfaced?
