Another book which I personally recommend is The Lincoln Assassination Riddle. My wife had cataract surgery yesterday, and I was able to essentially read the entire book in the waiting room. Several of our forum members contributed, and there are many chapters that deal with topics we have covered on the forum. I enjoyed the book - highly interesting. Among other things, you will find out if our own emergency medicine physician, Dr. Blaine Houmes, thinks Abraham Lincoln could have been saved using modern trauma/critical care techniques.
