CHASING LINCOLN'S KILLER by James Swanson
Perhaps you are bored to death from studying the Civil War in school. Well brace yourself, this non-fiction, yes I repeat NON-FICTION reads like a thriller.
Chasing Lincoln’s Killer gives a detailed account of the murder of Abraham Lincoln and a thorough account of the 12-day hunt that lead to the capture of the murderer and his accomplices. Okay, so I will admit that you may be learning about the conflicting feelings of the time. On the up side you will also be placing yourself smack in the middle of the most massive man-hunt in U.S. history. This new book includes reprints of original photographs and documents of the time to help you connect to the events. You may not believe me, but I promise you will love this book.
I recommend this book to students in grades 6 and up.
