The Conspiracy Between the Union Army and John Wilkes Booth to Assassinate Abraham Lincoln by Robert E. Arnold (Retired naval surgeon) Pdf

April 26, 1865, 2:45 A.M.: Lt. Col. Everton Conger, United States Army is intently watching the man inside Richard Garrett's burning barn. He watched the man throw his weapon down and start walking to the front of the barn to surrender to the 16th New York Cavalry. A shot rang out and the unarmed man fell to the ground, mortally wounded. Lt. Luther Baker and some enlisted men entered the barn and carried the man to the veranda of Richard Garretts house. Col. Conger stayed there ten minutes emptying the mans pockets before leaving for Washington.The man had in the meantime died. The corpse was then taken to the U.S.S. Montauk, where an autopsy was performed and then the body buried in one of the old cells on the grounds of Washington's penitentiary which was now an arsenal. The bullet track and cervical vertebrae were removed at autopsy and taken to the Army Medical Museum and remain today in the National Museum of Health and Medicine. The forensic evidence from the specimen proves that Sgt. Boston Corbett could not possibly have been the shooter.

The Conspiracy Between the Union Army and John Wilkes Booth to Assassinate Abraham Lincoln by Robert E. Arnold Pdf

The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth is one of the most significant occurrences in the history of the United Sates and an enduring subject of interest and study. One reason for the interest is the aura of controversy surrounding much of the story as presented. There was never any question as to who shot Abraham Lincoln. John Wilkes Booth had made certain that the entire world knew that he was the assassin. The only question was, did he have help? One theory was that the act was a crazy plot by a few renegades to restart the war. Another theory was that the Confederate Secret Service had assisted Booth. A third theory was that the Union army, with the help of Lafayette Baker and Edwin Stanton, was also involved. After reading the evidence in the National Archives, there can be little doubt that the betrayal of Abraham Lincoln involved all of the above. This book relies entirely on primary sources, United States Archives and Official Records and shows that there was a conspiracy with the Union Army and various others to aid Booth in assassinating Lincoln. This book traces the assassination from Ford's Theater, the escape and killing of the man purportedly Booth, trial, execution and aftermath. Captain Robert Arnold is a retired Naval Officer who was an Instructor in Advanced Trauma Life Support for the Department of defense. He was also a member of Fleet Surgical Team Four, and has had several deployments ranging from the Arctic Circle to the Indian Ocean. While a civilian, Captain Arnold practiced General Surgery and was the Assistant Coroner for Jefferson County for five years. He has utilized these experiences and the actual witness statements in the National Archives instead of the frequently used newspaper accounts of the day to reconstruct the events concerning the assassination of President Lincoln and the escape of John Wilkes Booth. This account is significantly different than previously published accounts. Capt. Arnold is now retired and resides in Louisville, Ky. with Betty, his wife of 60 years.

The Conspiracy Between John Wilkes Booth and the Union Army to Assassinate Abraham Lincoln by Robert Evans Arnold M D Pdf

The information in this book is based entirely on the eyewitness accounts in the National Archives and not on the newspaper accounts of 1865. The eyewitness accounts are far different than the newspaper accounts and for this reason were kept from the public by the U.S. Army until 1965 when they became available in the National Archives. The newspaper accounts of 1865 were based entirely on what Joseph Holt told them and could best be labeled "fake news." If you are interested in a factual account of Lincoln's assassination, this is the only book available. As an added bonus the contribution of the African-American community of 1865 to apprehend the conspirators is well documented. John Morris was a colored worker in Ford's Theater and their efforts are best described by his sworn statement " The colored people believe Mr. Lincoln to be the best friend that we had. I would go to the point of my life to find out the murderers." Again, this is the only publication with these facts. I have included the photocopies of the statements which also indicate that the Ford's were involved in the conspiracy to such an extent that Col. Burnett had Harry Ford put in solitary confinement. Read and judge for yourself whether the Union Army got away with the most infamous murder in the history of the United States.The only book ever published that records the effort of the African American community of 1865 to bring the conspirators to justice. Their affection for Abraham Lincoln was so great that they ignored the retribution that was certain for defying the government conspirators and seven African Americans were arrested and put in prison. This is the story of the assassination whose perpetrators were hidden for 150 years. The meticulous preparations of the conspirators are brought to light by the documents and evidence that was collected at the time, but obscured from public view in the national archives.

Conger stayed there for ten minutes emptying the man's pockets before leaving for Washington. The man, in the meantime, had died. Lt. Edward Doherty, commanding officer of the Sixteenth United States Cavalry had a huge problem. The dead man did not look like John Wilkes Booth. Doherty had the task of getting the body to Washington for identification and then of disposing of it. The trick was to do so without arousing the suspicions of the citizens who were desperately awaiting news about the man who killed President Lincoln. This is the story of the assassination whose perpetrators were hidden for 150 years. The meticulous preparations of the conspirators are brought to light by the documents and evidence that was collected at the time, but obscured from public view in the national archives.

American Brutus by Michael W. Kauffman Pdf

It is a tale as familiar as our history primers: A deranged actor, John Wilkes Booth, killed Abraham Lincoln in Ford’s Theatre, escaped on foot, and eluded capture for twelve days until he met his fiery end in a Virginia tobacco barn. In the national hysteria that followed, eight others were arrested and tried; four of those were executed, four imprisoned. Therein lie all the classic elements of a great thriller. But the untold tale is even more fascinating. Now, in American Brutus, Michael W. Kauffman, one of the foremost Lincoln assassination authorities, takes familiar history to a deeper level, offering an unprecedented, authoritative account of the Lincoln murder conspiracy. Working from a staggering array of archival sources and new research, Kauffman sheds new light on the background and motives of John Wilkes Booth, the mechanics of his plot to topple the Union government, and the trials and fates of the conspirators. Piece by piece, Kauffman explains and corrects common misperceptions and analyzes the political motivation behind Booth’s plan to unseat Lincoln, in whom the assassin saw a treacherous autocrat, “an American Caesar.” In preparing his study, Kauffman spared no effort getting at the truth: He even lived in Booth’s house, and re-created key parts of Booth’s escape. Thanks to Kauffman’s discoveries, readers will have a new understanding of this defining event in our nation’s history, and they will come to see how public sentiment about Booth at the time of the assassination and ever since has made an accurate account of his actions and motives next to impossible–until now. In nearly 140 years there has been an overwhelming body of literature on the Lincoln assassination, much of it incomplete and oftentimes contradictory. In American Brutus, Kauffman finally makes sense of an incident whose causes and effects reverberate to this day. Provocative, absorbing, utterly cogent, at times controversial, this will become the definitive text on a watershed event in American history.

Lincoln's Assassination by Edward Steers Pdf

The traditional story of Abraham Lincoln's assassination is littered with errors, some of which are accidental while others are willful. Too often, authors describe Lincoln's assassination rather than explain it. The current work is an attempt to explain the underlying causes of Lincoln's assassination and expose those who aided and abetted John Wilkes Booth in his plan to remove Lincoln from office and why.

Our American Cousin by Tom Taylor Pdf

Our American Cousin is a three-act play written by English playwright Tom Taylor. The play opened in London in 1858 but quickly made its way to the U.S. and premiered at Laura Keene’s Theatre in New York City later that year. It remained popular in the U.S. and England for the next several decades. Its most notable claim to fame, however, is that it was the play U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was watching on April 14, 1865 when he was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, who used his knowledge of the script to shoot Lincoln during a more raucous scene. The play is a classic Victorian farce with a whole range of stereotyped characters, business, and many entrances and exits. The plot features a boorish but honest American cousin who travels to the aristocratic English countryside to claim his inheritance, and then quickly becomes swept up in the family’s affairs. An inevitable rescue of the family’s fortunes and of the various damsels in distress ensues. Our American Cousin was originally written as a farce for an English audience, with the laughs coming mostly at the expense of the naive American character. But after it moved to the U.S. it was eventually recast as a comedy where English caricatures like the pompous Lord Dundreary soon became the primary source of hilarity. This early version, published in 1869, contains fewer of that character’s nonsensical adages, which soon came to be known as “Dundrearyisms,” and for which the play eventually gained much of its popular appeal.

The Reason Lincoln Had to Die by Don Thomas,Ian F. Wesley Pdf

What the public has known about assassination of Abraham Lincoln for nearly 150 years isn't history, but fiction, and an unsolved crime. In 1977, a document was discovered which revealed that no fewer than six Union spies had infiltrated associates of John Wilkes Booth months prior to his assassination of Abraham Lincoln. History writers since 1977 have failed to include the names, descriptions and roles of these secret agents, presumably because this information didn't seem to fit the prevailing understanding of the assassination. This document was created by the War Department in 1865, but was hidden from the conspirators' trial and the public, and was believed to be destroyed. It was just one of many pieces of evidence deliberately withheld to ensure Lincoln's assassination would appear to be the work of Confederate agents. To the contrary and before two years had passed, every alleged Confederate mastermind behind Booth (Davis, Johnson, Surratt) had been found by courts and Congress to have played no role in the deed. Yet the Confederate conspiracy theory prevailed. In this most important book, Don Thomas explodes the numerous myths that have been circulated since 1865, and concretely identifies the faction of Union government officials who engineered Lincoln's death and its cover-up. It can be known, for the first time, clearly, even in their own words, what made these men believe Abraham Lincoln had to die. This astonishing book reveals: The architects of Lincoln's assassination and their political motives How the Civil War was extended nearly a year in order to achieve a political goal Multiple Union agents within Booth's gang, including their names, descriptions and roles How the crime was covered up and the guilty parties protected Damning evidence other historians have overlooked or chosen to ignore.
