Gallows

[Rhatkinson]

Thanks, Barry.

I, too, was also of the opinion that the gallows ran as you said. I was surprised when the lady who gave us our "tour" said they were in the opposite direction. In fact, I told her that I thought the gallows ran the to the west, but she said that they "now think" they were to the south. I didn't argue because I was her guest and didn't want to get kicked out.

Also difficult not to argue with are the nice folks at Dr. Mudd's house. They don't tolerate any idea that Dr. Mudd was complicit. I don't think Dr. Steers' great book "His Name is Still Mudd" was sold in the gift shop.

The Mudd home was amazing though. It is awesome to walk up the same boards and touch the same hand rail of the stairs that Booth touched 148 years ago.
