Targeting Abraham Lincoln: The Forgotten 1865 Plot to Assassinate Lincoln

By: Tucker, Phillip Thomas

For the first time, Phillip Thomas Tucker, Ph.D., has resurrected one of the best remaining untold stories of the Civil War. Dr. Tucker is the first historian in more than a century and a half to reveal the hidden history of the daring attempt of William C. Quantrill and his Missouri guerrillas to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. Tucker has unearthed a hidden gem in the treasure trove of Civil War literature: the secret mission to kill Lincoln in the hope of reversing the course of the war. By rescuing this fascinating story from oblivion, the author has presented a fresh "new look" at the most studied conflict and most written about president in American history.
