Join James L. Swanson, author of the best-selling book Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer, on the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, as he seperates fact from myth. Entertaining and insightful both in his writing and in person, Mr. Swanson will re-create the atmosphere of chaos and mourning that befell Washington on what Walt Whitman described as "O moody, tearful night."
