A documented account of the hunt for John Wilkes Booth
Drawing on archival material, trial manuscripts, and interviews with relatives connected to the conspirators and their pursuers, James L. Swanson centers the twelve-day search that followed Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The account traces the pursuit from Washington, D.C., through Maryland’s swamps and into Virginia’s forests, keeping attention on the investigation, the conspirators, and the people charged with finding Booth. It offers a focused entry point into a pivotal episode of nineteenth-century U.S. history, emphasizing the geographic scope and urgency of the manhunt rather than Lincoln’s life more broadly.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Teens and young adults interested in U.S. history
- Readers seeking nonfiction about the Lincoln assassination
- Those interested in historical investigations and manhunts
