Book Description:
|
Despite all that has been written about the April 1865 assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, the story of John Surratt, the only conspirator who got away, remains untold and largely unknown. As the first full-length treatment of Surratt's escape, capture, and trial, the book provides fascinating details about his flight from New York, through eastern Canada to a hideout in Liverpool, England, and on to France and the Papal States.
