Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer
I really enjoyed this book. While it is certainly historical, it is in no way dry, stuffing or boring. It’s fantastically exciting. More like an adventure narrative than a text book, its style is akin to that of The Killer Angels.
Based on letters, newspaper accounts, trial transcripts, and other first-hand accounts, the author breathes life into a story that we think we already know.
I was really surprised how much I didn’t know about the Lincoln conspiracy, Booth’s capture, and the country’s reaction to the murder. If you like history or adventure, you’ll love this book.
