Thomas Harris, Assassination of Lincoln, 1st Ed.

Description

General Thomas Harris’ Assassination of Lincoln is the classic first-hand view of Lincoln’s murder, written by a member of the commission that tried the conspirators.

As a member of the commission General Harris had access to information that few others of his generation did. As a witness to the trial, he could contribute first-hand knowledge to his account. This is an indispensable volume for any Lincoln Assassination bookshelf.

This copy features light and usual shelf-wear, including rubbing on the spine and boards that has almost taken all the gilt. It is otherwise bright and clean, with tight hinges and clean text; overall very good.
