Abraham Lincoln Boxed Set PDF Download

The Lincoln Assassination Series Books 1 – 5 Written as Creative Historical Nonfiction BOX SET President Abraham Lincoln said, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt!" President Jefferson Davis said, "I worked night and day for twelve years to prevent the War, but I could not. The North was mad and blind, would not let us govern ourselves, and so the War came." BOOK 1 – THE LOST CAUSE – The Lincoln Assassination The assassination of Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, and his death at 7:22 am on April 15 is covered in this first novel. His funeral train back home is narrated along with the ending punishment phase of the conspirators. Much of the life of Jefferson Davis is brought to life, including how the United States didn't fly a flag at half-mast honoring him. He was the only former Secretary of War not given this respect in the history of the United States. BOOK 2: PURSUIT AND CAPTURE OF JOHN WILKES BOOTH General Robert E. Lee said, "There's a terrible war coming. These young men who have never seen War can't wait for it to happen. But, I tell you, I wish that I owned every slave in the South, for I would free them all to avoid this War!" This novel will follow John Wilkes Booth and the federal forces' extensive manhunt to capture him. Still, there are questions. In the memoirs of one of the soldiers who captured the assassin, said the man they killed had a "red" mustache. Booth's, of course, was black. BOOK 3: LEWIS THORNTON POWELL – The Conspiracy to Kill Abraham Lincoln Winston Churchill once said, "History is written by the victors." From all indication, enough preliminary witnesses placed Lewis Thornton Powell in the same room with Secretary of State Seward. William E. Doster took over representation for the defense of Powell. Doster was a graduate of Yale and Harvard and the former provost marshal for the District of Columbia. BOOK 4: KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE – A Most Secretive Organization This book is more of a reference manual for writing the other four novels in the series. You can't understand the Lincoln Assassination without an understanding of the Knights of the Golden Circle, the most powerful and secret society in all America at the time of the Civil War. The organization grew out of Southern Rights Clubs in the South who were mostly interested in opening up more territory to slavery. The actual words written in this reference novel were written by a member of the Order who never revealed his name. BOOK 5: MARY ELIZABETH SURRATT – First Woman Executed by the Federal Government The entire court case for Mary Elizabeth Surratt is depicted in this novel, the fifth novel in the Lincoln Assassination Series. The reader can follow the trial and determine for themselves from the evidence and the testimony of the witnesses if she should be found guilty or innocent. A military tribunal, rather than a civilian court, was chosen as the prosecutorial venue. Why? President Andrew Johnson did not declare an end to the War Between the States until August 1866. Was Mary Elizabeth Surratt in the wrong place at the wrong time? Was the United States Government out for revenge… out for blood! President Andrew Johnson said, "Mary Elizabeth Surratt kept the nest that hatched the egg!" This quote suggests that Johnson was bolstering his belief that she was guilty and deserved the harshest sentence allowed. An exciting conclusion in this five-novel series on the Lincoln Assassination…
