"On April 14, 1865, only days after the Civil War had come to a close, a gunshot rang out in Ford's Theatre and President Abraham Lincoln slumped forward in his seat. Hours later, the United States had lost its leader. Now readers can step back in time to learn about what led up to the assassination plot, how the fateful evening unfolded, and the ways in which one tragic day changed America forever"-- Provided by publisher.
