Historians’ Praise for Lincoln’s Final Hours
“Just when you thought there wasn’t anything new to say about Abe Lincoln’s assassination, along comes Ms. Canavan to reveal elements of the saga that will startle and enthrall even the most hard-core of Lincoln aficionados, including what must rank as the single most petty act by any one individual in the history of America—but I’ll save that for the book.”
—Erik Larson, author of Devil in the White City
“She writes with a flair not often found in historical works.”
—Edward Steers, Jr., author of Blood on the Moon
“Canavan has performed excellent research in winnowing out myriad human interest details. The result is a fast-paced, moving, yet authoritative account of the people caught up in the fallout of Booth’s mad act.”
— William C. Davis, author of Jefferson Davis: The Man and His Hour
“Lincoln’s Final Hours is a welcome addition to a crowded field. Fast-paced, dramatic and exciting, the reader will be hard pressed to put it down. The author, with her exquisite writing, has ensured this.”
―Frank J. Williams, founding chair of The Lincoln Forum
