The conspirators were part of a pro-Southern secret society that didn't want an antislavery President in the White House. They planned an elaborate scheme to assassinate the brand new President in Baltimore as Lincoln's inauguration train passed through en route to the Capitol. The plot was investigated by famed detective Allan Pinkerton, who infiltrated the group with undercover agents, including one of the first female private detectives in America. Had the assassination succeeded, there would have been no Lincoln Presidency, and the course of the Civil War and American history would have forever been altered"--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Lincoln, Abraham, $d 1809-1865 $x Assassination attempt, 1861. 650 0 $a Presidents $x Assassination attempts $z United States. 651 0 $a Baltimore (Md.) $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865. 655 0 $a Large type books. 700 1 $a Mensch, Josh, $e author. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print nonfiction series. 941 $a 16 945 $a lpt 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710052127.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611015215.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104021136.0 952 $l CDPC522 $d 20230506010201.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022358.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064324.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323013938.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20210105012109.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20201216135935.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20201208012122.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20201201010502.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20201103013111.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20201031010840.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200924010635.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20200922010148.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200909010520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C0012D8AF26111EA8A94DB3240ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
