This is an awesome book and it is about an awesome time.It is about how Lincoln got assassinated and his last days. It has lots of cool photos including one of the pillow on which he died on! That picture was a little bit gruesome. You get to go behind the plot of James Booth and see how he did it. It made me understand Abraham Lincoln's death a lot more.
I'm reading this book right now and it is awesome,but im not reading the kid version it shows above. it is basicly the same concept though.
