John Wilkes Booth: oder, Das Opfer der Rebellion : illustrirter historischer Roman aus der neusten Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika

Dave, Good find. That is amazing that a four volume book would find a German speaking audience in 1866. Can you direct me to the volume and page? I find with the old German script it is usually impossible to do word searches. I'll ask my friend Joerg Nagler, a Lincoln scholar at the Frederick Schiller University in Jena, Germany, to help with translation.
Many thanks for posting this.
