I have to give a special shout out to Jim Garrett for being a such wonderful guide to all the Atzerodt sites up in Montgomery County. Due to him I was able to add a whole bunch of George related sites to my Lincoln assassination map.
By the way, here is Kate, Jim, and I at Clopper Mill, where George Atzerodt spent the night of April 15th on his way to his cousin, Hartman Richter's, home. The old mill is in ruins now, but Jim and I still decided to see what sleeping here would have been like.
Dave, your map is fantastic! (Wish such a map would exist for all Lincoln sites, too!) I had never been aware the Atzerodt sites are located that far north. Just an idea - would it be possible to provide a link on the bottom of each "pop up info window" to the articles you dedicated on your blog to the respective site? (I would find that helpful.)
Dave, I love old mills - what sort of mill was Clopper Mill? Grain? Or oil? How was it driven? By horses? (All historic mills I've seen were wind- or water mills, but this was certainly neither nor.)
