A 2013 staff nonfiction favorite recommended by Stephen.

His review:

Americans know the many stories of President Lincoln and his assassination. How many know about assassination attempts after his election but before his inauguration? Not many, I am sure.

Daniel Stashower presents a “true crime story” version of which the first third of the book is about native Scotsman Allan Pinkerton, the first “detective,” who was hired by the railroad owners to protect Lincoln on his railroad journey from Illinois to Washington D.C. for his inauguration in February 1861.

The story of Pinkerton and the “Baltimore Plot” to assassinate Lincoln is quite compelling for history buffs and those interested in crime stories. A local connection is Pinkerton’s “Cooper” business in Dundee, IL and his detective agency based in Chicago. A good read.
