A Treasury of Victorian Murder: Vol 7. The Murder of Abraham Lincoln

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Geary turns his attention to the most famous assassination of the Victorian era, that of President Lincoln. The details he reveals are fascinating. Booth worked with a group of disgruntled Southern sympathizers out to decapitate much of the US Executive branch, not just the President! Geary also details the flight of the culprits and the hot pursuit of federal agents.


"Filled with rich detail and told with the tightness of a thriller. Makes for a remarkably entertaining and compact work of historical comix."
-TIME.comix

"The Murder of Abraham Lincoln is meticulously researched and beautifully drawn in a flowing pen-and-ink style that capturres time, place, and emotion with seeming effortlessness."
-Heidi MacDonald, Comics Buyer's Guide

"With his elegant pen-and-ink art and knack for sifting memorable and unusual details from history, Geary renders this familiar true story in riveting and thorough detail."
-Publishers Weekly

"Geary's meticulous research and detailed drawing illuminates facts that might not be known." -Voya

"This book will have even reluctant readers immersed in history."
-School Library Journal

"The pen-and-ink art is realistic and the narrative concise, with intriguing details scattered throughout."
-College & Research Libraries News

"Where Geary excels in Murder are in his searing portrayal of the fanatic Booth (clearly, the man knows his sociopaths) and the smaller details surrounding the soon-to-be-murdered Lincoln's personal life... Geary clearly reveals how this landmark killing was so much more than the work of one cracked actor."
-The Comics Journal

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
