A Bit of Levity re: O'Reilly's "Killing Lincoln"

[Wesley Harris]

I checked out an audiobook of Killing Lincoln from the library for a long road trip. I found it very entertaining storytelling. I see it as a way to familiarize more people to the assassination. But for anyone who is knowledgeable of the facts, the errors are distracting. However, many of the errors I caught have been repeated over and over in other publications. For example, the ball fired into Lincoln's skull was made of lead, not "Brittania metal" as O'Reilly states. But this error is made numerous times in assassination literature. I never heard the "Oval Office" error on the audiobook. Maybe corrections were made from the original print edition.
