(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Dwight Jon Zimmerman. This book chronicles the last days of the Civil War, the events leading to Lincoln's assassination, and the flurry involved in bringing the conspirators to justice. The present-tense narrative is well written and concise. Archival photographs and drawings add clarity and interest. A lengthy afterword provides additional information, but the lack of source notes is unfortunate. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
