 Rating: - OutstandingIf you're even then slighest bit interested in the aftermath of Lincoln's assassination then this is a MUST read. Outstanding and detailed look into the 20 days that follow the assassination of the 16th President of the United States. You're only cheating yourself if you don't read this. Rating: - Unusually good. Special.This book is unusually good. I borrowed a copy from the libary after reading thse reviews, and now I'm back buying a copy to re-read and cherish. I'd thought it would be simply a gorgeous picture book, but it's the prose and anecdotes; they bring the people of the day to life. You will get to know these people very well. Magnificent book by the same family: "Lincoln: An Illustrated Biography". Rating: - Great for Lincoln and Civil War buffsI originally received this book in 1968 from my parents.

Then it takes a look at the twelve cities where there were funerals in. Few people realize Lincoln's funeral was the precursor to Memorial Day.
