5.0 out of 5 stars This book deserves a place on the shelves of Lincolniana., September 5, 1999

By A Customer

This revised edition of the Great Abraham Lincoln Hijack, story of the 1876 attempt to steal President Lincoln's body, first published in 1990, is footnoted with foreword by Thomas F. Schwartz, Illinois State Historian. Bonnie Speer has made a notable contribution to Lincoln literature and this study deserves a place on the shelves of Lincolniana. It is most readable and factual.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Thriller from cover to cover, September 30, 2002

By	Ralph DeMattia "A Lincoln Fan" (Fayetteville, Pennsylvania United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If this book were fiction, it would rank up there with The War of The Worlds for exciting reading-BUT IT ISN'T. This insane incident occured and the [people] involved got a very short prison sentence for almost kdnaping the president's body to get a counterfeiter out of jail! I won't reveal anything, but get this book-it's [a good price] and reads like a great mystery, but it all happened in 1879 and its all true and all unbelievable!!
