It continues to attract enormous and intense interest from scholars, writers, and armchair historians alike, ranging from painstaking new research to wild-eyed speculation. At the end of the Lincoln bicentennial year, and the onset of the Civil War sesquicentennial, the leading scholars of Lincoln and his murder offer in one volume their latest studies and arguments about the assassination, its aftermath, the extraordinary public reaction (which was more complex than has been previously believed), and the iconography that Lincoln?s murder and deification inspired. Contributors also offer the most up-to-date accounts of the parallel legal event of the summer of 1865?the relentless pursuit, prosecution, and punishment of the conspirators. Everything from graphic tributes to religious sermons, to spontaneous outbursts on the streets of the nation?s cities, to emotional mass-mourning at carefully organized funerals, as well as the imposition of military jurisprudence to try the conspirators, is examined in the light of fresh evidence and insightful analysis.The contributors are among the finest scholars who are studying Lincoln?s assassination. All have earned well-deserved reputations for the quality of their research, their thoroughness, their originality, and their writing. In addition to the editors, contributors include Thomas R. Turner, Edward Steers Jr., Michael W. Kauffman, Thomas P. Lowry, Richard E. Sloan, Elizabeth D. Leonard, and Richard Nelson Current. 410 0$aNorth's Civil War. 606 $aAssassins$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aConspiracies$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aAssassins$xHistory 615 0$aConspiracies$xHistory 676 $a973.7092 676 $a973.7092 700 $aSymonds$b Craig L.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0516874 701 $aHolzer$b Harold$0910532 701 $aSymonds$b Craig L$0516874 701 $aWilliams$b Frank J$0214179 712 02$aLincoln Forum. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826297803321 996 $aThe Lincoln assassination$94113557 997 $aUNINA
