What Was The Role of David Herold

[John Stanton]

As I recall the early preparations for the escape from Washington, were changed by circumstances, on the night of the escape. Didn't Herold tell us that they planned to go south on the "Bumpy Oak Road"? The actual escape never got near the "Bumpy Oak Road". That's why everyone needed Herold. He knew his way around So. MD. How many of us known where the Bumpy Oak Road is? It's still there. (But stay clear if it is raining hard.)
