James L. Swanson examines the Civil War’s closing days through two concurrent national events: the pursuit of Confederate president Jefferson Davis after Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, and the 20-day journey that returned Lincoln’s body to Springfield. The book places a military and political manhunt alongside a public funeral procession, showing how both unfolded in the immediate aftermath of the war. Dozens of rare historical images accompany this account, including material described as previously unseen. Published in large print, this edition offers an expansive history centered on the transition from wartime conflict to national mourning.
