Very informative book about the assassination of President Lincoln and the chase after the assassins - primarily John Wilkes Booth (though there were other assassins of other government officials and many co-conspirators). So much of the history that I did not remember, retain or maybe never learned from my primary school days. The book was well written in that it kept my attention and was at times suspenseful, yet there were times it also felt repetitious. Though, it has inspired me to want to read more about Lincoln and his presidency.
It is amazing to see how far we've come in medicine and science to now deal with injuries and crimes after reading the crude methods of the 1800's!
