Publisher's Summary

After Confederate General Robert E. Lee's surrender on April 9, 1865, the Civil War finally appeared to be coming to a close. But the nation's joy was about to be cut short by a sinister assassination plot and one of the largest manhunts in US history. Through powerful narrative storytelling, follow the tales of people who experienced the tragedy firsthand.

Meets Common Core standards for narrative nonfiction and exploring multiple accounts of an event.
