Thanks to you as well, and good morning.

My rather lengthy post is an attempt to create a timeline of events concerning Confederate Captain George Malcom Emack and his involvement from the very beginning of the Civil War at T.B., until the time of the assassination when he is accused of being the notorious blockade runner Augustus Howell. Everything in between are pieces of that puzzle. While researching this, the timeline of events at Dr Mudd's house in September of 1861 began to correlate with with the stabbing of "General Walker" at T.B., not far from Surratt's Tavern. Each portion of my post contains a link with the source of the information. There are a few that I'll need to add.

The two main topics are to determine if Captain Emack is actually Confederate spy Augustus Howell, and if the stabbing in September
of 1861 was the reason why the Gwynn brothers fled to Dr. Mudd's.

Though some experienced in the assassination will recognize much of the information contained in my post, it is an awful lot to absorb for others. Whether my assumptions are correct or not, I find both topics very compelling and worthy of investigation.

Thanks again,
Joe
