DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt the time of the Lincoln assassination, Thomas A. Jones was 45 years old and had spent the years of the American Civil War working “with zeal” in the Confederate cause in Southern Maryland. He primarily acted as an aid to Confederate spies moving through Charles County and helping the substantial intelligence network by moving mail. By the time that Jones wrote this account of having helped John Wilkes Booth in his escape, his assessment of Abraham Lincoln had gone through a transformation. As he tells us, the light of reason had been blinded and he now saw Lincoln as a good and great man. This is but one small piece of the drama that changed history. But Jones was there and was part of it. It’s an important account that fills in the days between Booth’s deed, and his capture and death. For less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKApril 26, 1865, 2:45 A.M.: Lt. Col. Everton Conger, United States Army is intently watching the man inside Richard Garrett's burning barn. He watched the man throw his weapon down and start walking to the front of the barn to surrender to the 16th New York Cavalry. A shot rang out and the unarmed man fell to the ground, mortally wounded. Lt. Luther Baker and some enlisted men entered the barn and carried the man to the veranda of Richard Garretts house. Col. Conger stayed there ten minutes emptying the mans pockets before leaving for Washington.The man had in the meantime died. The corpse was then taken to the U.S.S. Montauk, where an autopsy was performed and then the body buried in one of the old cells on the grounds of Washington's penitentiary which was now an arsenal. The bullet track and cervical vertebrae were removed at autopsy and taken to the Army Medical Museum and remain today in the National Museum of Health and Medicine. The forensic evidence from the specimen proves that Sgt. Boston Corbett could not possibly have been the shooter.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is a tale as familiar as our history primers: A deranged actor, John Wilkes Booth, killed Abraham Lincoln in Ford’s Theatre, escaped on foot, and eluded capture for twelve days until he met his fiery end in a Virginia tobacco barn. In the national hysteria that followed, eight others were arrested and tried; four of those were executed, four imprisoned. Therein lie all the classic elements of a great thriller. But the untold tale is even more fascinating. Now, in American Brutus, Michael W. Kauffman, one of the foremost Lincoln assassination authorities, takes familiar history to a deeper level, offering an unprecedented, authoritative account of the Lincoln murder conspiracy. Working from a staggering array of archival sources and new research, Kauffman sheds new light on the background and motives of John Wilkes Booth, the mechanics of his plot to topple the Union government, and the trials and fates of the conspirators. Piece by piece, Kauffman explains and corrects common misperceptions and analyzes the political motivation behind Booth’s plan to unseat Lincoln, in whom the assassin saw a treacherous autocrat, “an American Caesar.” In preparing his study, Kauffman spared no effort getting at the truth: He even lived in Booth’s house, and re-created key parts of Booth’s escape. Thanks to Kauffman’s discoveries, readers will have a new understanding of this defining event in our nation’s history, and they will come to see how public sentiment about Booth at the time of the assassination and ever since has made an accurate account of his actions and motives next to impossible–until now. In nearly 140 years there has been an overwhelming body of literature on the Lincoln assassination, much of it incomplete and oftentimes contradictory. In American Brutus, Kauffman finally makes sense of an incident whose causes and effects reverberate to this day. Provocative, absorbing, utterly cogent, at times controversial, this will become the definitive text on a watershed event in American history.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... THE HAND OF SECRETARY STANTON The government for some reason took up the pursuit of Booth independent of the movements of Gen Dana and the Army of Washington within the lines of the 3rd Brigade of Harden's Division, 22d Corps, commanded by Maj. Gen. C. C. Augur, when Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War, sent the following telegram to New York City: "Washington, April 16th, 1865. "3:20 P.M. "Col. L. C. Baker--Come here immediately and see if you can find the murderer of the President. ' (Signed.) EDWIN M. STANTON, "Secretary of War." Early the next morning Col. Baker reached Washington, accompanied by his cousin, Lieut. L. B. Baker, a member of the Bureau, who had recently been mustered out of the First District of Columbia Cavalry. They went at once to the office of the War Department and after a conference with Secretary Stanton, began the search for the murderer of the President. "Up to this time," says Col. Baker, "the confusion had been so great that few of the ordinary detective measures for the apprehension of criminals had been employed. No rewards had been offered. Little or no attempt had been made to collect and arrange the clue in the furtherance of a systematic search and the pursuit was wholly without a dictating leadership." Col. Baker's first step was the publication of a handbill offering thirty thousand dollars for the capture of the fugitives. Twenty thousand dollars of this amount was subscribed by the City of Washington and the other ten thousand dollars by Col. Baker, offered on his own account and authorized by the War Department. On this handbill was a minute description of Booth, as follows: "John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated the President on the evening of April 14th, 1865, height 5 feet 8 inches, weight 160...
