A look at the twenty days from the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln to his burial in Springfield, Illinois, features more than three hundred illustrations and photographs and a moving text.

20 Days

I first read this book when it came out back in the 1960's
It hooked me forever on the Lincoln Assassination
And it's still the best photo book on this tragic event!

Outstanding

If 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.

Great for Lincoln and Civil War buffs

I originally received this book in 1968 from my parents. I wanted a new copy for my coffee table. This is so full of facts and fascinating photos any one who is a Lincoln or Civil War buff will treasure it. A must have.

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".

The murder of Lincoln and twelve funerals.

This is a nice picture book of the last days of Abe Lincoln. It starts with his visiting the captured Confederate capital of Richmond, and then his murder in Ford's Theater. This book covers the snaring of the conspirators along with their military trial. 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. Unlike other picture books, this has a lot of information in it. This is a lengthy read at 300 + pages.

The authors spent a lot of time securing the rights to the many pictures that accompany this book. This is a very informative read. It also depicts the emotion of the time when Lincoln was murdered. Abe may not have been liked when he was alive, but he became a saint when he was dead.
A very informative pictorial read.
