The Murder of Willie Lincoln
A new historical fiction book is due for release soon - The Murder of Willie Lincoln, authored by Burt Solomon.

Books like these make me squirm. Sooner or later, someone will be at a lecture and say that Willie was murdered. The reasoning will be because they "read it in a book somewhere" and therefore, it must be fact.

I agree and pretty much told the author the same thing when he urged us to carry it in the Surratt House gift shop.
