Manhunt:
The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer
by James L. Swanson
Batavian Dan Hoefler is a retired history teacher and president of the Batavia Historical Society. The murder of Abraham Lincoln 100 years ago set off the greatest manhunt in American history—the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth. Based on rare archival materials, obscure trial transcripts, and Lincoln’s own blood relics, Manhunt is a fully documented, fascinating tale of murder, intrigue, and betrayal told through the eyes of the hunted and the hunters.
