Title: Not for the parocial of mind
Review: Highly entertaining. A fast fun read. I would not make the mistake of doubting this work and dismissing the book out of hand. I have read many Lincoln books in my time, this really puts the shady conspiracy cabal under the microscope. Lots of research weaved together by someone not afraid of what the "caught in a squeaky clean history rut" naysayers would say. Most of what Higham writes has been indeed hinted at before by mainstream historians. Higham's sources are impeccable. He combed through government archives untouched or unused by main stream historians (they are/were afraid of stepping on toes and myths?). He does list every source. He backs up what he says with official documents. Nobody had the guts to come out and say until now what really needed to be said. A brave author.For the readers that view this book as fiction or nonsense, you are exhibiting your shallowness. Allow me to echo a popular 19th century sarcasm aimed at snarky folks "Vas you dere charlie?"
