The
bestselling authors of The First Conspiracy, which covers the secret plot
against George Washington, now turn their attention to a little-known, but true
story about a failed assassination attempt on President Lincoln
Everyone knows the story of
Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865, but few are aware of the original
conspiracy to kill him four years earlier in 1861, literally on his way to
Washington, D.C., for his first inauguration. The conspirators were part of a pro-Southern
secret society that didn’t want an antislavery President in the White House.
They planned an elaborate scheme to assassinate the brand new President in
Baltimore as Lincoln’s inauguration train passed through en route to the
Capitol. The plot was investigated by famed detective Allan Pinkerton, who
infiltrated the group with undercover agents, including one of the first female
private detectives in America. Had the assassination succeeded, there would
have been no Lincoln Presidency, and the course of the Civil War and American
history would have forever been altered.
