What Was The Role of David Herold

Quote:The Virginians on the other hand had experienced a much worse Civil War than the Marylanders had and were probably very leery of anyone showing up on their doorsteps that they had not met previously.

Yes, I think that the Virginians were more or less a bit more wary than Marylanders regarding strangers. There is also nothing to insinuate that Davey had ever even been into Virginia before. He was a slick talker, though and yes, Matt - I (and others as well) appreciate your views on his character. He wasn't an idiot - he was a sly fox!
