A rich collection of newspaper articles, editorial, and opinions published in the days before and weeks following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The foreword is by U.S. Representative Joe Courtney. The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs from the period and a comprehensive index. The reporting is emotional, graphic, detailed and sometimes even poetic.
