This book was especially interesting to me since I live in the area where Lincoln's train passed through mentioning many of the places I'm familiar with. It was also the first time I had heard of a "Baltimore" plot to assassinate him prior to his first inauguration. If you like historical books, this one is very good - reads well. It doesn't get bogged down like some nonfiction does. Very good!
