This book resurrects the events of Abraham Lincoln's assassination by presenting an unprecedented visual record of almost 300 contemporary photographs, letters, documents, prints, woodcuts, newspapers, pamphlets, books, and artifacts, many hitherto unpublished. These rare materials which took the authors decades to collect take the reader into the courtroom and the cells of the accused, document the beginning of American photo-journalism, and memorialize the fates of the eight accused conspirators.
