Secretary of War Edwin Stanton takes control, determined to bring the assassin to justice—but the hunt for John Wilkes Booth isn’t all that grips Stanton.

All of Lindsey’s shows from 1865 to American Scandals to American History Storytellers are riveting and incredibly informative. With so many American citizens being horribly ignorant of our own history, and foolishly repeating mistakes, I wish these were mandatory! If reading books isn’t a hobby, then listening to these podcasts should be on your bucket list!
I listen to a lot of podcasts. However, this one takes the cake. This had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I loved the fact that I was being educated on many important historical events all while actually enjoying it. You have brought history back to life! Nicely done to all who worked in this. Thank you and please do more like this!
True Crime as you've never heard it before. :D The victim: Abraham Lincoln.
This is now my favorite history podcast. Lest you have any disrespect for dramatization of history (which they do excellently), after each episode they carefully explain which plot elements are definitely established history, which are logical assumptions, and which (very few) are creations to carry the story forward.
You will learn facts about John Wilkes Booth you never knew, and wouldn't have thought possible.
I never write reviews, but holy cow this podcast is amazing! The voice actors, the story line, the accuracy! My hats off to Wondery.
Oh also, the intro music…is perfect!
I love history and I think this is one of the best shows based off of a historical event that I have ever listened to. It’s better than most tv shows and movies. Great job!
