520    Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner were the new media 
       moguls of their day. With their photographs they brought 
       the Civil War--and all of its terrible suffering--into 
       Northern living rooms. By the end of the war, they were 
       locked in fierce competition.  And when the biggest story 
       of the century happened--the assassination of Abraham 
       Lincoln--their paparazzi-like competition intensified. 
       Brady, nearly blind and hoping to rekindle his wartime 
       photographic magic, and Gardner, his former understudy, 
       raced against each other to the theater where Lincoln was 
       shot, to the autopsy table where Booth was identified, and
       to the gallows where the conspirators were hanged. Whoever
       could take the most sensational--or ghastly--photograph 
       would achieve lasting camera-lens fame.  Compelling and 
       riveting, Shooting Lincoln tells the astonishing, behind-
       the-photographs story of these two media pioneers who 
       raced to "shoot" the late president and the condemned 
       conspirators. The photos they took electrified the country,
       fed America's growing appetite for tabloid-style 
       sensationalism in the news, and built the media we know 
       today.
