520    "The bestselling authors of The First Conspiracy, which 
       covers the secret plot against George Washington, now turn
       their attention to a little-known, but true story about a 
       failed assassination attempt on President Lincoln Everyone
       knows the story of Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865,
       but few are aware of the original conspiracy to kill him 
       four years earlier in 1861, literally on his way to 
       Washington, D.C., for his first inauguration. The 
       conspirators were part of a pro-Southern secret society 
       that didn't want an antislavery President in the White 
       House. They planned an elaborate scheme to assassinate the
       brand new President in Baltimore as Lincoln's inauguration
       train passed through en route to the Capitol. The plot was
       investigated by famed detective Allan Pinkerton, who 
       infiltrated the group with undercover agents, including 
       one of the first female private detectives in America. Had
       the assassination succeeded, there would have been no 
       Lincoln Presidency, and the course of the Civil War and 
       American history would have forever been altered"--
