Added the statement that David Herold gave to the authorities on April 27, 1865 aboard the gunboat Montauk.

Added Oscar Swan's statement to the Research Library. Swan led Booth and Herold through the night to Samuel Cox's farm.

I have added Google Earth videos to the Booth Escape Route page to show the locations Booth was at during his escape attempt.

Added today a February 5, 1934 letter  from Thomas Ewing III, the son of General Thomas Ewing, Jr., to David Rankin Barbee, a Southern historian whose research papers are at Georgetown University Library.

Added the official 1867 Army report of the yellow fever epidemic at Fort Jefferson. 

Added an 1888 statement of John T. Ford to the Reference Library. Ford was the owner of Ford's Theatre where President Lincoln was assassinated. We prepared the statement from the hand-written original found in the John T. Ford papers at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, Maryland. He mentions Dr. Mudd, but it is mostly about Mrs. Surratt. As far as we know, it has not been published before.

Added info about Colonel William P. Wood to the Booth Escape Route page, and a new page containing his reports in the Reference Library.
