Synopsis
The murder of Abraham Lincoln set off the greatest manhunt in American history. From April 14 to April 26, 1865, the assassin, John Wilkes Booth, led Union cavalry and detectives on a wild twelve-day chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia, while the nation, still reeling from the just-ended Civil War, watched in horror and sadness.
James L. Swanson's Manhunt is a fascinating tale of murder, intrigue, and betrayal. A gripping hour-by-hour account told through the eyes of the hunted and the hunters, this is history as you've never read it before.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincolns Killer by James L. Swanson is a gripping nonfiction narrative that chronicles the dramatic pursuit of John Wilkes Booth after his assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Set in the final days of the Civil War, the book details the intense manhunt across the American South, revealing the motivations, movements, and eventual capture of Booth and his co-conspirators. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Swanson brings to life one of the most extraordinary criminal chases in U.S. history. This is a paperback book in good condition. While generally the condition is good, about 20 pages seem to have been wet at some time and do not lay. Seller Inventory # 439056
