Jim Bishop - The Day Lincoln Was Shot

[LincolnMan]

Roger-thanks for posting this. The book also greatly influenced me, as well. Interesting that the article mentions Carl Sandburg as an inspiration for Bishop (if you will). I've never nade that connection but it makes sense. For me, the book was one that I felt I should have written-or to put in another way- if I were to write a book on Lincoln- that would have been the format style. The book holds up-even today. Those who may have not read it should add it to their reading list.
