A historical tradition of Roman origin represents Livia Drusilla, the third and much-beloved wife of Caesar Augustus, as a conniving, Borgia-like criminal. This view of Livia maintains that to promote the political career of her son by her former husband, Livia killed or incapacitated Augustus' descendants through his previous wife. Author Robert Graves, in his famous novel, I, Claudius, based his fictitious rendering of Livia upon this malevolent representation of her. The conceit is patently wrong, and essentially all modern scholars of Roman history reject it. But thanks to Graves' immensely entertaining book, and the British Broadcasting Corporation adaptation of it for television, the image of Livia as a devious dynastic murderess prevails in the popular mind.
I, Livia: The Counterfeit Criminal aspires to correct the misconception, and present an accurate assessment of this much-maligned woman. The study's comfortably readable style is intended for general audiences.
The first three chapters present a biographical sketch, focused upon Livia's public life. Livia was accepted as an extraordinarily visible, dynamic and influential political personage, by a society and culture which maintained women must confine their activities childrearing and other domestic pursuits. The following two chapters demonstrate the absurdity of Livia's criminal reputation, and offer explanation for its development.
Three subsequent chapters seek Livia's private side - her habits, tastes, and interpersonal relationships. Livia (who suffered from colds and chronic arthritis) was an amiable soul with a self-deprecating sense of humor. She was a loving, supportive, forbearant wife and mother, an intellectual with profound political insights, an enthusiastic traveller, a connoisseur of art. Although generally patient and demure, she could also be impulsive, assertive, opinionated and, especially in later life, petulant.
The final chapter examines how Livia became, and remained, a symbol of Roman imperial power. The brief epilogue describes the physical appearances of Livia and the members of her family. Also included are relevant appendices, a comprehensive bibliography, and color images of surviving wall paintings from her homes.

John Wilkes Booth assassinated president Abraham Lincoln at Washington's Ford's Theatre on Good Friday evening, April 14, 1865. He broke his leg while fleeing from the theater, and sought medical help just before dawn at the Southern Maryland farm of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd. Booth left the Mudd farm later that day, but a week and a half later he was cornered and killed by Union soldiers in Virginia.
Many people were arrested during the government's investigation of the assassination, but ultimately only eight of these, including Dr. Mudd, were put on trial for being part of Booth's conspiracy. Conspiracy was defined by the government as anyone involved in the actual assassination, as well as anyone who helped the assassin avoid capture after the assassination.
Dr. Mudd had nothing to do with planning or carrying out the assassination of president Lincoln, but the military court found him guilty of helping Booth avoid capture by not alerting the authorities to Booth's presence at his farm.
All of the eight persons put on trial were found guilty. The four who were considered to have actually been involved in the assassination were hanged. The other four, including Dr. Mudd, were sent to Fort Jefferson, a military prison located on a small Gulf of Mexico island in the Dry Torguas, about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida. Shortly after his arrival at Fort Jefferson, Dr. Mudd tried to escape by hiding on a visiting supply ship, but was discovered and imprisoned in the fort's dungeon for three months.
President Andrew Johnson pardoned Dr. Mudd in 1869, a few days before he was replaced as president by war hero Ulysses S. Grant. He was pardoned in part because of his heroic work during a deadly 1867 yellow fever epidemic at Fort Jefferson. The prison doctor died of yellow fever shortly after the epidemic began. The fort's commander realized that he needed Dr. Mudd's help, so he ordered "Get the doctor from his cell ," and Dr. Mudd went to work ministering to the yellow fever victims.
Three hundred thirteen soldiers, 54 prisoners, and 20 civilians, a total of 387 people, were at the fort during the epidemic. Two hundred seventy of them contracted yellow fever. Thirty-eight died. Many of the survivors credited Dr. Mudd with their recovery. Towards the end of the epidemic, Dr. Mudd himself contracted yellow fever and almost died. When the epidemic had finally run its course, the surviving soldiers at Fort Jefferson signed a petition asking President Johnson to pardon Dr. Mudd for his service during the epidemic. The petition said in part:
"He inspired the hopeless with courage, and by his constant presence in the midst of danger and infection, regardless of his own life, tranquilized the fearful and desponding."
After his release from prison, Dr. Mudd returned home to his wife and children, redeemed in the eyes of many for his life-saving work at Fort Jefferson during the epidemic. He lived 14 more years, dying from pneumonia in 1883 at the age of 49.

Описание: Paco the eel wants to perform in a talent show. The problem is that Paco feels insecure about his crooked jaw. Paco must find the strength to perform and find away to help his friends so that they can all do their best at the talent show.
All of the historical accounts of Dr. Samuel A. Mudd's life focus on his conviction as one of the eight persons tried for conspiracy in the 1865 assassination of president Abraham Lincoln. But Dr. Mudd was also a farmer who relied on slave labor to plant and harvest his tobacco crops. This book is the story of the lives of those men and women.
Dr. and Mrs. Mudd acquired at least nine slaves between 1859 and 1864. Their first five slaves were documented in the 1860 Federal Slave Census. They were a 26-year-old man, a 19-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy, an 8-year-old girl, and a 6-year-old girl. The 26-year-old man was Elzee Eglent. The 19-year-old woman was his sister, Mary Simms. The 14-year-old boy was their brother, Milo Simms. The two little girls were called sisters, but their different last names suggest they were not. We do know they were orphans. The 8-year-old girl was Lettie Hall. The 6-year-old girl was Louisa Cristie.
Four additional slaves were acquired between 1860 and 1864. They were Rachel Spencer, Richard Washington, Melvina Washington, and Frank Washington. Rachel Spencer probably came from the plantation of Henry Lowe Mudd where her mother Lucy Spencer, her sister Maria Spencer, and her brothers Baptist Spencer and Joseph Spencer were slaves. Maria Spencer was married to William Hurbert, a slave on Susanna Mudd's plantation in nearby Prince George's County. Richard Washington, Melvina Washington, and Frank Washington came from the Dyer plantation.
After the Civil War started, some of Dr. Mudd's slaves ran away to Washington, D.C. where slavery was abolished in 1862., or joined the Union Army which began enlisting former slaves in 1863. Others left the farm after the State of Maryland abolished slavery in November 1864. Three of Dr. Mudd's slaves remained on the farm after emancipation and were still there at the time of the 1870 Federal census.
Not much is known about the slaves' lives before Dr. Mudd became involved in the Lincoln assassination. Slave owners didn't normally keep records of slaves' births, marriages, deaths, or other events in their lives. Most of what we know about Dr. Mudd's slaves comes from testimony by and about them at the Lincoln conspiracy trial, as reported in this book.
After the trial, the lives of most of Dr. Mudd's former slaves faded once again from public view. However, research for this book uncovered interesting information about some of their post-slavery lives, and is reported in this book. This includes former slave Lettie Hall Dade's account of John Wilkes visit to the Mudd farm immediately following the assassination.
