"The Death of Lincoln: A Picture History of the Assassination" by Leroy Hayman

A detailed account of President Abraham Lincoln’s final days, his assassination by John Wilkes Booth, the subsequent pursuit and trial of the conspirators, and the impact of the tragedy on the United States. It is tailored for younger readers (typically ages 9 to 12 or grades 4 to 6) as an entry-level historical biography. The book has roughly 128 pages filled with text, illustrations, and archival photographs to visualize the historical event.

Also included with the book is a brochure from Ford's Theatre, probably used during tours of the national historic site. Double-sided and full-color, the brochure features drawings and photographs of the theatre where Lincoln was shot, as well as the Petersen House nearby where he died. We believe the brochure was printed in 1991.
