Author Anthony Pitch will tell the story of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln based on his book They Have Killed Papa Dead! The program concludes with an audience question-and-answer session. Pitch will sign copies of his book in the lobby following the program.

The Chicago Sun-Times has raved about Pitch's book, "If not the definitive story of the assassination and the events before and after, then the one that readers should turn to first."

Books may be purchased through the Ford’s Theatre Online Store here. Books also will be available for purchase in the Ford’s Theatre gift shop prior to the event.
