Manhunt : the 12-day chase for Lincoln's killer

The murder of Abraham Lincoln set off the greatest manhunt in American history. From April 14 to April 26, 1865, the assassin led Union cavalry and detectives on a wild twelve-day chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia, while the nation, still reeling from the just-ended Civil War, watched in horror. A Confederate sympathizer and a member of a celebrated acting family, John Wilkes Booth threw away his fame and wealth for a chance to avenge the South's defeat. Based on rare archival materials, obscure trial transcripts, and Lincoln's own blood relics, this book is a fully documented work, but it is also a tale of murder, intrigue, and betrayal, an hour-by-hour account told through the eyes of the hunted and the hunters.--From publisher description.

  • "History. Social sciences. Criminology. The murder of Abraham Lincoln set off the greatest manhunt in American history -- the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth. From April 14 to April 26, 1865, the assassin led Union cavalry and detectives on a wild twelve-day chase through the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia, while the nation, still reeling from the just-ended Civil War, watched in horror and sadness. At the very center of this story is John Wilkes Booth, America's notorious villain. A Confederate sympathizer and a member of a celebrated acting family, Booth threw away his fame and wealth for a chance to avenge the South's defeat. For almost two weeks, he confounded the manhunters, slipping away from their every move and denying them the justice they sought. Based on rare archival materials, obscure trial transcripts, and Lincoln's own blood relics, Manhunt is a fully documented work, but it is also a fascinating tale of murder, intrigue, and betrayal. A gripping hour-by-hour account told through the eyes of the hunted and the hunters, this is history as you've never read it before."

  • ""El asesinato de Abraham Lincoln desencadenó la mayor "caza del hombre" de la historia de Norteamérica: la persecución y captura de John Wilkes Booth. Desde el 14 hasta el 26 de abril de 1865, el asesino de Lincoln logró despistar a la Caballería de la Unión y a los detectives a traveés de las calles de Washington DC, de un lado a otro de las marismas de Maryland y en el interior de los bosques de Virginia, mientras toda la nación, todavia tambaleante por la recién acabada Guerra Civil, era testigo con horror y tristeza ... Basado en excepcionales documentos de archivo, las crípticas transcripciones del juicio y las reliquias de la sangre de Lincoln, La Caza del Asesino es un trabajo sólidamente documentado, pero también un relato fascinante de crimen, intriga y traición. Una apasionante narración contada minuto a minuto a través de los ojos de la presa y de los cazadores. Esto es historia como nunca la habíamos leído antes"--Back cover."
