Dr. Mudd Research Site

[Laurie Verge]

I have been using Bob Summers's website in preparing our new exhibit at Surratt House for 2013-14. I am amazed at the amount of research that he has done on Dr. Mudd. One thing that I especially noted was his sec-tion on Southern Maryland economy and slave labor. As part of that, I also noted that he mentions Caroline Wade (see l-a.com), but specifies that her having lived at Dr. Mudd's is only oral legend. He has found no documentation to support it.
