Opis

A vivid, absolutely authentic account of the last day of Lincoln's life, revealing through the hundred contacts of that busy day, the power and sweetness of his great personality. Every event of the fateful Good Friday, April 14, 1865 which was the usual crowded day of the energetic President is described, the breakfast with Mrs. Lincoln and Tad; the Cabinet meeting at eleven, the conferences with Robert Lincoln, with congressmen, senators, generals. The story leaves the martyr President as he starts his trip to Ford's Theater.
