Download Lincoln's Final Hours: Conspiracy, Terror, and the Assassination of America's Greatest President AudioBook Free
When John Wilkes Booth terminated his Derringer point-blank into Leader Abraham Lincoln's mind, he set in motion a series of dramatic consequences that could upend the lives of common Washingtonians and Us citizens alike. Inside a split second, the story of a land was changed. During the hours that used, America's future would hinge on what happened in a cramped rear bedroom at Petersen's Boardinghouse, directly next door from Ford's Theatre. There, a 23-year-old cosmetic surgeon - fresh out of medical university - battled to keep the president alive while Mary Todd Lincoln moaned at her husband's bedside. In Lincoln's Last Hours, author Kathryn Canavan takes a magnifier to the last occasions of the president's life also to the impact his assassination got on the country still reeling from a bloody civil war. With vivid, thoroughly researched prose and a reporter's vision for detail, this fast-paced account not only furnishes a view into John Wilkes Booth's personal and political motivations, but also illuminates the reports of common people whose lives were modified permanently by the assassination. The publication is shared by University or college Press of Kentucky.
