Summary
The Lincoln Conspiracy by Brad Meltzer examines the actual plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln before his 1861 inauguration. The book reveals how Lincoln had to be secretly smuggled through Baltimore to reach Washington DC safely, as conspirators planned to kill him during his journey to become president. Meltzer explores the detective work of Allan Pinkerton and others who uncovered the scheme, detailing the historical evidence behind this lesser-known assassination attempt that preceded John Wilkes Booth's successful attack four years later.
