Killing Lincoln

I know you have heard about the newly released novel by Bill O'Reilly & Martin Dugard, entitled, Killing Lincoln.  I have always been fascinated by stories of President Lincoln and admit that I don't remember all that I should from history class.  When I saw Bill on The View talking about his historical thriller, I couldn't wait to read it.

The authors recount the weeks leading up to and immediately following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, from the final days of the Civil War to the manhunt for John Wilkes Booth, the man who quickly became the country's most wanted fugitive as the prime suspect in Lincoln's death.

I learned so much from reading this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. Read it for pleasure + history lesson. I didn't know (or forgot) that the original plan was to assassinate the Vice President Andrew Johnson, Ulysses Grant and Secretary of State Seward along with President Lincoln. Do you remember that John Wilkes Booth was an actor and very popular with the ladies?

It made for a very interesting read and I recommend it to you all! I wish more of history was written in this manner. Loved it! Five Stars Bill!!!
