The Second Life of John Wilkes Booth (Hardcover)

A gripping historical novel based on the often advanced

theory that Lincoln's assassin was

not killed in the barn in Virginia but escaped to

a second life in the Wild West. Barnaby Conrad

was told the plot in 1947 by Sinclair Lewis,

while serving as personal secretary to the

Nobel-Prize winning author. They agreed to

co-author the book, but only one of them lived

to tell the tale.

Conrad follows Booth as he secretly makes his way to Robert E. Lee's headquarters,

expecting to be received as a hero. Instead Lee believes him an impostor and drives him

away. The penniless Booth flees on a riverboat up the Missouri River to Montana Territory

and assumes a new identity in a rough frontier town. Just as Booth falls in love with a kind

woman, a bloodhound-like reporter appears, the truth is revealed and justice is delivered a

la Greek tragedy.
