Murdering Mr. Lincoln: A New Detection Of The 19th Century's Most Famous Crime

0/5 ( ratings)

"In this original work, Charles Higham addresses one of the greatest historical mysteries: did John Wilkes Booth act alone on the night of Good Friday, 1865 or was he part of a wide conspiracy?" "Using previously hidden documents, over 5,000 pages in all, drawing from letters, diaries, previously hidden official hearings, railway timetables and obscure shipping manifests, he has woven an account of high level intrigue. He proves conclusively that very high level figures, including the richest banker in America, were involved in the murder plot, of which John Wilkes Booth was merely the puppet-like instrument." Most of all, the book solves the greatest of historical mysteries: the disputed involvement of the accused co-conspirator John Surratt, whose mother was hanged for the crime.
