In the case of my first book in the 150th Anniversary Series of the Lincoln Assassination; I was not going to write in support of one side or the other. I drew a narrow gray line between how the facts are described in the novel. I hadn't even started the series without noticing I used the word gray when I could have used "blue" line…so much with trying to hide my feelings; right? This novel will present the facts in the most truthful manner as possible. The first five novels in the series cover the assassination and the ensuing trial of the conspirators. There are a number of conspiracy theories. I am quite confident the facts are represented as they existed from 1856 through 1876 in Books One through Five. Book Six; the final novel is fiction; based on facts; called "The Lincoln Assassination - Who Really Killed President Abraham Lincoln?" What was the real cause of the civil war? Did Lincoln send orders with one of his generals to assassinate Davis? Did Jeff Davis send orders to kill Abraham Lincoln? Since the war was not officially over; did John Wilkes Booth act on orders from the Knights of the Golden Circle or from Clement Clay and the Secret Service in Montreal; Canada? Was Jefferson Davis really wearing a dress when captured in Georgia on May 10; 1865? Did John Wilkes Booth actually jump from the box where he shot Lincoln or did Henry Rathbone in his scuffle knock him off? What is the truth behind the reason there was no security personnel guarding President Lincoln? Did Secretary Edwin Stanton of the War Department participate in the assassination of Lincoln? I assure the readers right off the bat the hanging of Mary Surratt; in my opinion; was not justice in triumph. The Lincoln Assassination trial was marked by bribery; lies; perjury; and intimidation of the witnesses and defendants; including torture. If only Edman Spangler could tell you of his stay at the “Holiday Inn†on the USS Saugus.
