Book excerpt: This definitive illustrated history of Abraham Lincoln's assassination follows the shocking events from the tragic scene at Ford's Theatre to the trial and execution of John Wilkes Booth's coconspirators. Few remember them today, but once the names Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold, George Atzerodt, Edman Spangler, Samuel Arnold, Michael O'Laughlin, and Dr. Samuel Mudd were the most reviled and notorious in America. In Lincoln's Assassins, James L. Swanson and Daniel R. Weinberg present an unprecedented visual record of almost three hundred contemporary photographs, letters, documents, prints, woodcuts, newspapers, pamphlets, books, and artifacts, many hitherto unpublished. These rare materials evoke the popular culture of the time, record the origins of the Lincoln myth, take the reader into the courtroom and the cells of the accused, document the beginning of American photojournalism, and memorialize the fates of the eight conspirators.

Download or read book The Lincoln Assassination Conspiracy Trial and Its Legacy written by Frederick Hatch and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-12-24 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eight people charged with conspiring to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln were tried by a military commission under military law. The author contends that this was illegal, since the civilian legal system was fully functioning. The many ways in which the defendants' rights were violated are described, as are the ways in which the trial testimony was either not accurate or not legally obtained. The trial is also compared with other incidents in which the U.S. military was used in police and judicial functions, with questionable results. The book is a warning against unchecked power by the executive branch of the government.
Download or read book The Assassin s Accomplice written by Kate Clifford Larson and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Assassin's Accomplice, historian Kate Clifford Larson tells the gripping story of Mary Surratt, a little-known participant in the plot to kill Abraham Lincoln, and the first woman ever to be executed by the federal government of the United States. Surratt, a Confederate sympathizer, ran the boarding house in Washington where the conspirators-including her rebel son, John Surratt-met to plan the assassination. When a military tribunal convicted her for her crimes and sentenced her to death, five of the nine commissioners petitioned President Andrew Johnson to show mercy on Surratt because of her sex and age. Unmoved, Johnson refused-Surratt, he said, "kept the nest that hatched the egg." Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, The Assassin's Accomplice tells the intricate story of the Lincoln conspiracy through the eyes of its only female participant. Based on long-lost interviews, confessions, and court testimony, the text explores how Mary's actions defied nineteenth-century norms of femininity, piety, and motherhood, leaving her vulnerable to deadly punishment historically reserved for men. A riveting narrative account of sex, espionage, and murder cloaked in the enchantments of Southern womanhood, The Assassin's Accomplice offers a fresh perspective on America's most famous murder.

Download or read book On the Trail of the Assassins written by Jim Garrison and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Garrison's book presents the most powerful detailed case yet made that President Kennedy's assassination was the product of a conspiracy, and that the plotters and key operators came not from the Mob, but the CIA. I think there was a conspiracy. There's kind of collective amnesia about the whole thing. The Warren Commission construed its mission to be restoring equilibrium. No one really wanted to know. It goes back to the late sixties, the Garrison case. Remember he had this elaborate conspiracy theory? The stones that were turned over! Fantastic characters kept emerging.
Download or read book The Old Man of the Mountain written by Theodore Josiha Haig and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was a powerful influencing reference as Britain's Bernard Lewis, who would become the foremost authority on Islamic history and traditions, traced the origins of the 'Assassin sect' in the Shi'ite branch of Islam and began to chronicle both their doctrines and the life of their enigmatic founder, the legendary "Old Man of the Mountain." The Assassins were the first group to make planned, systematic, and long-term use of murder as a political weapon, and their ideals and methods have since found many imitators. Bernard Lewis was just about to publish, in 1967, one of his first books entitled the "The Assassins." Once published it was to be the most comprehensive, readable, and authoritative account of history's first terrorists. When Lewis' book was published Dr. Ahmed Abdulla did take some exceptions on one major historical account but in all he was very pleased with the historical context of Lewis' factual history. Where they differed would continue to be preserved and concealed, unknowingly, in Lewis' account as one of the most guarded secrets in the history of the assassin's legacy. Ahmed and Iran's self-imposed exiled Ayatollah Khomeini, allegedly, were two of the very few Shi'ites in the world that knew about this well guarded secret. As descendants of the "Old Man" each was entrusted with continuing to pass the legacy down through history until the call would come to carryout the assassination. However, it was the one called Ahmed didn't want to get because it was diametrically in opposition to his principles of democracy, tolerance and religion.
