I bought this book for a history project, actually. I had to do a history paper on President Lincoln and his life, and his tragic death. And this book really helped!The author, Luther Henderson, gives a great account on President Lincoln's life, and his death. But one thing I really liked about the book was how it told you about President Lincoln's killer, John Wilkes Booth.Henderson goes in depth about John Wilkes Booth life, and how things led up to him assassinating President Lincoln. And why he did it, and how he disagreed with what Lincoln was doing.You don't learn much about John Wilkes Booth in school. My history teachers over the years barely said anything about him. Only that he killed Lincoln, but none of them ever went into depth about him or why he did it.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is doing a project on President Lincoln or to anyone who's just curious about John Wilkes Booth. And to anyone who just wants a good historical read!!!!
