The Assassination of Lincoln: History and Myth

When I picked this up I didn’t realize it was pretty much a reprint of an early 1900’s book, which isn’t bad, but I wasn’t expecting the style and it threw me off a bit. It was interesting getting a more timely point of view rather than a book published recently but again, it wasn’t what I was expecting, which is not to say it was bad. The pacing was pretty slow at the beginning, picked up closer to the actually assassination and then slowed down a bit again at the end. Definitely interesting to hear the prevailing theories and myths of the times though. It’ll go on the shelf, but I’m not so sure I’ll pick it up again.
