Hour of Peril-Stashower

Events from Lincoln’s election to his train trip to DC for the first inauguration. How Pinkerton helped him through baltimore where there was a plot to assassinate him when he switched trains.

Good background on Pinkerton’s life and how he built his agency.

Lot’s of stories of Lincoln’s inner circle.

Lots of info on the politics taking place during a time when 7 states succeeded.

Good read.

I was thinking I read that ... and then I realized I was thinking of the same events as presented in Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, which is better than one might expect, greatly superior to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
