Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and Boston Corbett: With Personal Recollections of Each A recent imperfect brochure of mine relating to Boston Corbett, who shot John Wilkes Booth, the assassinator of President Lincoln, has brought requests for more of the history of this unique character. Its study forces us to link it with the death of Lincoln, the end of Booth and the capture of Jefferson Davis, the inspiring angel of Booth on his last mission. The recording of real personal recollections assists in making genuine history, and furnishes a flavor delightful to the public taste. I will present some personal items about Lincoln and Corbett, and testimony from official records - that we may see the characteristics of the two men, and then by an analysis of other facts get a correct view of the tragic end of Booth, and of his incentives to his mad career. We will examine the exciting and singular Kansas life of Corbett. Bringing the truth out of the many versions relating to the capture of Jefferson Davis, we shall find that the ridiculous stories, published by the northern press, of his fleeing in his wife´s dress and crinoline, emanated in the fertile brain of the General commanding the "raid into Alabama and Georgia," and had no foundation in fact. We can afford to bear honest testimony even at this late date. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
