About this title

Synopsis

"Worst Seat in the House: Henry Rathbone's Front Row View of the Lincoln Assassination" by Caleb Jenner Stephens is a gripping and emotional account of one man's fateful encounter with history. Henry Rathbone was an unlikely witness to the assassination of President Lincoln, seated next to the president in the fateful theater box on the night of April 14, 1865. Rathbone's confrontation with John Wilkes Booth and the aftermath of the assassination left him with lifelong scars, both physical and emotional.

As Rathbone struggles to come to terms with the tragedy, he is plagued by mental illness and ultimately commits a horrific act of violence against his own wife, Clara. Through extensive research and analysis, Stephens paints a vivid and heartbreaking portrait of a man caught in the crosshairs of history.

This powerful and moving book offers a unique and intimate perspective on the Lincoln assassination, shedding new light on the events of that fateful night and the devastating impact they had on one man's life. With its captivating story and historical significance, "Worst Seat in the House" is a must-read for anyone interested in the Civil War era and the tragic fate of Henry Rathbone.
