Northern Duty, Southern Heart George Proctor Kane’s Civil War

[RJNorton]

One of our forum members, H. Leon Greene, has come out with a new book entitled Northern Duty, Southern Heart George Proctor Kane’s Civil War. Although not a Lincoln book, Dr. Greene's chapter on the Baltimore Plot is fascinating. Kane was Chief of Police in Baltimore when Lincoln passed through on his way to Washington in February, 1861. Green's discussion of how much danger came from the plot is fascinating as well as Kane's view of the degree of danger Lincoln personally was in is highly captivating. An excellent read.
