Chasing Lincoln's Killer: The Search for John Wilkes Booth

198 pp. | Scholastic | February, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-439-90354-7 $16.99
(4) YA Swanson tracks Booth and his conspirators from Lincoln's assassination to their escape over land and water to the climactic shootout leading to Booth's death. Reproductions of newspapers and documents, photographs and artifacts (e.g., the conspirators' wrist irons), and sepia-toned pages add to the tension-filled story's unique presentation. Based on Swanson's adult book Manhunt. No sources are mentioned, compromising historical veracity.
