On the night of the 1876 presidential election, a gang of counterfeiters attempted to steal the entombed embalmed body of Abraham Lincoln and hold it for ransom. Craughwell returns to this bizarre, and largely forgotten, event with the first book to place the grave robbery in historical context. This rousing story of hapless con men, intrepid federal agents, and ordinary Springfield citizens offers an unusual glimpse into late-nineteenth-century America.

April 14, 1865. Fearing an assassination attempt, and sensitive to his poor health, the president's security officer sends an impersonator to accompany Mary Todd Lincoln to a performance of Our American Cousin playing that evening at Ford's Theatre. It is not the first time an impersonator is used as a stand-in for the failing Abraham Lincoln. At approximately 10:13 p.m., a shot is fired in the presidential box. A man screams, "sic semper tyrannis," and leaps to the floor. Twelve days later, a southern extremist, alleged to be John Wilkes Booth, the president's assassin, is cornered and killed at Garrett's farm in Virginia. Three eyewitnesses claim the body is Booth's. Three others swear it is not. A fourth identifies it as that of James William Boyd who, except for hair color, is the spitting image of the murderer. Both have the initials, JWB. Federal authorities prohibit photographers from taking pictures of the corpse. The body, officially declared to be Booth's, is hastily buried. Four years pass. Booth, under the alias John St. Helen, has artfully avoided discovery and continues the family tradition as an actor on the London stage. Learning that he has assassinated an impostor, and that the president still lives, he immediately sails for America, determined to finish what he started. Near the end of his life, Abraham Lincoln suffered from a disease that has since been identified as Marfan Syndrome. This degenerative tissue and skeletal disease causes disfigurement of the extremities arms, legs and cranium eventually disabling the victim. This, and the constant threat of assassination, required the creative use of impersonators for some of the president's non-speaking public appearances. Such was the case on the night of April 14th, 1865. Dead Wrong chronicles two men's search for the truth about the Lincoln assassination a search separated by 135 years. Dr. Martin Rudd, a forensic scientist at Bethesda Naval Hospital, discovers the first section of his great-great-great grandfather's diary in the basement of their family estate in Saratoga, NY. Malachi Rudd "crazy Malachi" the diary's author, claimed that, while he was a Pinkerton agent in Washington during the late 1860s, he learned the truth about the assassination fraud and the ensuing kidnapping. Malachi also discovers that Booth is alive, has returned to the U.S., and is bent on revenge. He initiates a life-and-death struggle to find the president before Booth does. Is Malachi telling the truth? Secretly, Dr. Rudd performs the DNA testing and confirms his ancestor's preposterous tale. The man assassinated in Ford's Theatre was not Abraham Lincoln. Dr. Rudd becomes obsessed with the unanswered questions. What happened to Lincoln? Did Booth succeed in his second attempt at assassination or did Malachi foil the plot? And finally, what became of Malachi? The answers are in the lost, second part of Malachi's diary. Dr. Rudd must find it and then confront the moral and political dilemma of whether to go public with his discovery. Dead Wrong compels the reader to experience the convulsive forces that produced a great humanitarian like Lincoln and a cold-blooded assassin like Booth. The story unfolds through excerpts from Malachi Rudd's diary and a narrative that relates the concurrent movements of John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln, and Lincoln's tormented, guilt-ridden abductors. Dr. Martin Rudd is the vehicle for relating the contemporary part of the novel. From Charleston, SC, through upstate New York and the Sacandaga River Valley, to the Canadian border, the plot propels the reader to a dramatic climax on April 14th, 1870, between Lincoln, Booth and Malachi Rudd in the desolation of the St. Lawrence River Valley.

The life of America’s sixteenth president has continued to fascinate the public since his tragic death. Now, Glenna R. Schroeder-Lein unveils an engaging volume on the medical history of the Lincoln family. Lincoln and Medicine,the first work on the subject in nearly eighty years, investigates the most enduring controversies about Lincoln’s mental health, physical history, and assassination; the conditions that afflicted his wife and children, both before and after his death; and Lincoln’s relationship with the medical field during the Civil War, both as commander-in-chief and on a personal level. Since his assassination in 1865, Lincoln has been diagnosed with no less than seventeen conditions by doctors, historians, and researchers, including congestive heart failure, epilepsy, Marfan syndrome, and mercury poisoning. Schroeder-Lein offers objective scrutiny of the numerous speculations and medical mysteries that continue to be associated with the president’s physical and mental health, from the recent interest in testing Lincoln’s DNA and theories that he was homosexual, to analysis of the deep depressions, accidents, and illnesses that plagued his early years. Set within the broader context of the prevailing medical knowledge and remedies of the era, Lincoln and Medicine takes into account new perspectives on the medical history of Abraham Lincoln and his family, offering an absorbing and informative view into a much-mythologized, yet underinvestigated, dimension of one of the nation’s most famous leaders.

Lincoln’s spiritual journey from spiritual skeptic to America's first evangelical Christian presidentbeliever—a conversion that changed both the Civil War and the practice of religion itself. Abraham Lincoln, unlike most of his political brethren, kept organized Christianity at arm’s length. He never joined a church and only sometimes attended Sunday services with his wife. But as he came to appreciate the growing political and military importance of the Christian community, and when death touched the Lincoln household in an awful, intimate way, the erstwhile skeptic effectively evolved into a believer and harnessed the power of evangelical Protestantism to rally the nation to arms. The war, he told Americans, was divine retribution for the sin of slavery. This is the story of that transformation and the ways in which religion helped millions of Northerners interpret the carnage and political upheaval of the 1850s and 1860s. Rather than focus on battles and personalities, Joshua Zeitz probes ways in which war and spiritual convictions became intertwined. Characters include the famous—Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frederick Douglass, Henry Ward Beecher—as well as ordinary soldiers and their families whose evolving understanding of mortality, heaven, and mission motivated them to fight. Long underestimated in accounts of the Civil War, religion—specifically evangelical Christianity—played an instrumental role on the battlefield and home front, and in the corridors of government. More than any president before him—or any president after, until George W. Bush—Lincoln harnessed popular religious enthusiasm to build broad-based support for a political party and a cause. A master politician who was sincere about his religion, Lincoln held beliefs that were unconventional—and widely misunderstood then, as now. After his death and the end of an unforgiving war, Americans needed to memorialize Lincoln as a Christian martyr. The truth was, of course, considerably more complicated, as this original book explores.

The War of 1812 was fought by eighteen states--the original thirteen states that formed the Union, as well as Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Louisiana. In the preparation of this work, the compiler surveyed the records of the National Archives, as well as many of the libes and archives of the eighteen states in which fatalities were recorded. The end result is an authoritative list of some 3,500 known military dead of the War of 1812. The entries, which are alphabetically arranged, give the name of the deceased, his rank, the name of his company or branch of service, his date of death, and an indication as to whether the individual died in battle or as a prisoner of war.

Why did General Grant suddenly alter his plans and decide not to go to Ford's Theater on the evening of Lincoln's assassination? Who, during that same night, tampered with the telegraph wires leading out of Washington? Why was the President's bodyguard at the playhouse, guilty of the grossest negligence, not punished nor even questioned? Perhaps the most serious reproach against historical writers is not that they have left such questions unanswered, but that they have failed to ask them. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
