Geary turns his attention to the most famous assassination of the Victorian era, that of President Lincoln. The details he reveals are fascinating. Booth worked with a group of disgruntled Southern sympathisers out to decapitate much of the US Executive branch, not just the President! Geary also details the flight of the culprits and the hot pursuit of federal agents.… (plus d'informations)
The Murder of Abrham Lincoln is an entry in Rick Geary's Treasury of Victorian Murder graphic novels. I've found the other books in the series interesting, so I went ahead and bought this one (even thought the basics were familiar to me).
Part I is about President Lincoln is only four pages long. It ends with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
Part II is about the conspirators in the assassination plot: John Wilkes Booth, Michael O'Laughlin, Samuel B. Arnold, Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, John H. Surratt, David E. Herold, George A. Atzerodt, and Lewiss Powell (alias 'Paine'). Mary Surratt, John's mother, is not listed on the page with the head shots and simple biographies of the conspirators besides Booth, although she is mentioned. What they planned since August 1864 is brought out. There are two pages about the Lincolns that leads to a public jealous scene by Mrs. Lincoln over General Ord's wife. Mrs. Grant couldn't calm her down. No wonder the Grants wouldn't go to Ford's theater with the Lincolns. Then we're back to Lincoln and Booth's activities, This section ends with Lincoln's famous dream.
Part III: This section covers the assassination of Lincoln and attempted assassination of Seward, why there was no attempt to assassinate Andrew Johnson, then the immediate aftermath.
Part IV: This section is about Booth's attempt to escape and his death.
Part V covers the Lincoln train to his burial, what happened to the rest of the conspirators, and the current resting places of Booth and Lincoln.
This is a good capsule about the Assassination of Abraham Lincon. I would love to know the answers to the questions brought up, especially the what was in the 18 pages missing from Booth's journal. ( )
