Stealing Lincoln's Body
On the night of the presidential election in 1876, a gang of counterfeiters out of Chicago attempted to steal the entombed embalmed body of Abraham Lincoln and hold it for ransom. This book places the grave robbery in historical context. It takes us through the planning and execution of the crime and the outcome of the investigation.
