Opis

Every generation has dates that are etched into people's minds so deeply that they all know exactly where they were when that day's momentous event happened, like 9/11 and the killing of John F. Kennedy. In the days of our Civil War, the date etched into people's minds was when President Abraham Lincoln was shot dead as he attended the play "Our American Cousin" at the Ford Theater, on April the 14th, 1865 at the Ford Theater. This book chronicles the events leading up to the assassination, and to the deaths of the killer John Wilkes Booth on April the 26th of that same year, and the subsequent hangings of the other conspirators on July the 7th.
