In February of 1861, just days before he assumed the presidency, Abraham Lincoln faced a "clear and fully-matured" threat of assassination as he traveled by train from Springfield to Washington for his inauguration. Over a period of thirteen days the legendary detective Allan Pinkerton worked feverishly to detect and thwart the plot, assisted by a captivating young widow named Kate Warne, America's first female private eye. As Lincoln's train rolled inexorably toward "the seat of danger," Pinkerton struggled to unravel the ever-changing details of the murder plot, even as he contended with the intractability of Lincoln and his advisors, who refused to believe that the danger was real. With time running out Pinkerton took a desperate gamble, staking Lincoln's life―and the future of the nation―on a "perilous feint" that seemed to offer the only chance that Lincoln would survive to become president. Shrouded in secrecy―and, later, mired in controversy―the story of the "Baltimore Plot" is one of the great untold tales of the Civil War era, and Stashower has crafted this spellbinding historical narrative with the pace and urgency of a race- against-the-clock thriller. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Lincoln, Abraham,|d1809-1865|xAssassination attempt, 1861. 650 0 Presidents|xAssassination attempts|zUnited States. 650 0 Audiobooks. 651 0 Baltimore (Md.)|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865. 700 1 Ballerini, Edoardo,|d1970-|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11801758?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ mcm_9781427229243_180.jpeg
