Blood on the Moon: The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

Edward Steers Jr.

4.9/5 (12046 ratings)

Description:The assassination of Abraham Lincoln is one of the most familiar stories in our nation's history, usually told as a tale of a lone deranged actor who struck from a twisted lust for revenge. This is not only too simple an explanation; Blood on the Moon reveals that it is completely wrong. John Wilkes Booth was neither mad nor alone in his act of murder. He received the help of many, not the least of whom was Dr. Samuel Alexander Mudd, the Charles County physician who has been portrayed as the innocent victim of a vengeful government. Booth was also aided by the Confederate leadership in Richmond. As he made his plans to strike at Lincoln, Booth was in contact with key members of the Confederate underground, and after the assassination these same forces used all of their resources to attempt his escape. Had it not been for all this assistance, Booth would not have gone as far as he did, for as long as he did. When Booth entered the presidential box at Ford's Theatre on the night of April 14, 1865, he held a small derringer in his hand, but there were many fingers on the trigger. Noted Lincoln authority Edward Steers Jr. introduces the cast of characters in this ill-fated drama, explores why they were so willing to help pull the trigger, and corrects the many misconceptions surrounding this defining moment that changed American history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
