"A few weeks after Lincoln's assassination, Civil War journalist George Alfred Townsend damned the town as a rebel cesspool of corruption: 'If any place in the world is utterly given over to depravity, it is Port Tobacco.... Life there reminds me, in connection with the slimy river and the adjacent swamps, of the great reptile period of the world, when iguanodons and pterodactyls and pleosauri ate each other...'"
--quoted in James L. Swanson, Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer, 208
