I didn't know there was an assassination plot against Lincoln in the beginning of his presidency.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019450793013285292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-83352750522879852812008-03-05T14:55:00.000-06:002008-03-05T14:55:00.000-06:00Sounds like a fascinating book.

Imagine his distress as a crime solver, finding out his own tracks would be unearthed after his death. What irony! The book sounds like a gripping tale. The website is terrific! I loved the hauntingly hypnotic hymn with the altered key as background as you visualize the ghosts from Pinkerton's past.wisteriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620398484256424032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-66782118770315909512008-03-04T18:41:00.000-06:002008-03-04T18:41:00.000-06:00Thanks for the recommendations - I've never come a...Thanks for the recommendations - I've never come across <I>The Napoleon of Crime before</I>.

Eric's site is very tasteful and evocative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
