Yes fans, if you liked "The Reason Lincoln Had to Die by Don Thomas, then you'll like his new book "The Reason Booth Had to Die".

And at only $17.95 for 98 pages it's a steal, and guess who's been robbed?

I'd say "check out the authors new web site here", but why would I do that to you?
However, if you just can't control yourself, remember, I warned you.

Couldn't control myself, so I went to the site and got irritated once again. As James O. Hall used to say when confronted with such material, "Oh, my."

On a more positive note, I rec'd word from the D.C. Historical Society that there will be a special program at Ford's Theatre from 5-6 pm on April 16th, based on a new publication of an old, but very worthy, book. Amazon Prime is selling it for $25+

The combined memoir and biography focuses on the personal relationships of African American people with President Lincoln: those who served the Lincolns and those who shaped Lincoln’s view on slavery. Noted historian Kate Masur's introduction details author Washington’s life and the importance of life stories. Masur will discuss the book with journalist and founder of "The Race Card Project," Michele Norris. Presented in honor of Emancipation Day and co-sponsored by the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. Free. Registration required.
