Manhunt: The Twelve-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer

 

Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's KillerManhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A fascinating, well- researched account of the assassination of Lincoln and the search for his killer. Though I have visited the Lincoln Museum that has relics and tells the story of his assassination, I really learned a lot that I didn’t know before about this horrible event and its aftermath. I didn’t know that the original plot was to kidnap Lincoln or that others were supposed to be assassinated that night as well. Anyone interested in American history would like this well-written book.
