The Pro Volleyball Federation all-star match on February 22nd at 1 30 p.m. Be there. This is our American stories and we've told the story of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. We're now going to look at the aftermath of Lincoln's assassination. Our storyteller is James Swanson the author of Manhunt the 12-day chase for Lincoln's killer. Swanson begins by sharing with us how he came to write his New York Times bestseller.

I really came to this story by chance. I was born in Chicago on Lincoln's birthday February 12th and when I was a small boy my parents began giving me Lincoln comic books those old classics illustrated and and crayon books about Lincoln and the Civil War and trinkets from the Lincoln sites and when I got a little older books that I could actually read. My real interest and I guess I'd say my obsession with this story began when I was 10 years old and that's when my grandmother Elizabeth who was a veteran of the old Chicago tabloid newspaper scene sadly now now long long gone gave me a framed engraving which you might think is an unusual gift for a child. It was an engraving of John Wilkes Booth's Derringer pistol the one he had used to kill Abraham Lincoln and framed with that engraving was part of a clipping from the Chicago Tribune from the morning of April 15th 1865 the morning that Lincoln died. He was shot Good Friday the night before and lingered on until the morning and I remember reading that vividly and in those days the headlines were not the broad horizontal headline across the page but rather the left column was devoted to headlines and then there was a series of descending headlines in that left column and so it began with the breaking news the president shot and as each edition came out later in the day more headlines would be added the president shot is dying not expected to live secretary of Seward stabbed to death in his bed of course that was wrong it was an early false report that Seward had died that his sons had been murdered along with him and I got to a midpoint in the story and someone had taken a scissors and clipped it just when I was reading the line and ran out the back door and and I must have read that clipping a hundred times when I was a boy and I remember saying to myself I want to read the rest of this story and that's how it began I really wrote the book that I always wrote the book that I always wanted to read but no one else had written which might sound odd because there were over 15,000 books about Abraham Lincoln probably even more no one has ever done the complete bibliography and of those 15,000 or so books at least a thousand are related somehow to his end of days one would think with all the Lincoln studies out there there'd be a hundred books like this or 10 but there wasn't one so that really gave me incentive to do it so I'd ask this question who was Abraham Lincoln on the morning of April 14th 1865 and who was John Wilkes Booth it was probably the happiest day of Lincoln's life it was certainly the happiest week he had won the war Lee had surrendered Richmond fell on April 3rd Lee surrendered on April 9th Lincoln gave his last speech from the White House grounds the evening of April 11th and on April 13th Washington celebrated with the grand illumination of the city probably the most beautiful night in the history of Washington fireworks flares lamps illuminations of all kind bonfires one of the papers said that the capital dome was so beautiful that it looked like a second moon had descended upon the earth as a sign of God's favor for the union and for the victory Lincoln met with his son that morning back from the war he had been on Lee's staff then he met with his cabinet and general grant was a rare visitor for that meeting and Lincoln told his assembled cabinet I had that strange dream again last night and Gideon Wells the secretary of the navy said well what was that and Lincoln said that he was the at the head of a mysterious vessel moving towards a distant shore and he was alone and he was alone and Lincoln said whenever I've had that dream and I've had it many times during this war something of the utmost importance has happened I'm convinced that something of major significance is about to happen the meeting broke up and Lincoln took his wife Mary on a carriage ride through the streets of Washington he wanted to be alone with her and talk during that ride he had told her they'd been very unhappy ever since the death of their son Willie in the white house in 1862 600,000 dead union and confederate it was a crushing burden on Lincoln and the Lincolns had grown apart during the war for many reasons and he told Mary we must be happy again he told her that they might go back to Illinois and he could practice law when his second term ended in 1869 he wanted to go to the pacific ocean he told her he wanted to go to California but he reminded her again we must be happy again she wrote shortly after this ride that I've never seen him so happy in fact I told him you alarmed me because you've not been this happy since just before the death of our son Willie that night they decided to go to the play our American cousin to seek release from the exhilaration of victory so that's who Lincoln was on that day it was his week in his day of triumph he had a rough start in office but he learned how to command generals how to build armies how to articulate his goals to the American people and he had done what he promised he would do he won that war and he destroyed slavery so who was Booth that morning 26 years old one of the most popular actors in America exceedingly handsome athletic women and men would stop in the street to watch him as he passed generous vain funny egomaniacal politically motivated to be a lover of the south of secession a supporter of slavery he once said slavery is the best thing that ever happened to the black man he was standing below the white house window on april 11th when Lincoln gave his last speech and when Lincoln talked about giving blacks the right to vote Booth turned to a confederate and said that's the last speech he'll ever give now we'll put him through he didn't even need fame to gain access to Lincoln's office in the white house any one of us could have gone to the Lincoln white house walked in the front door approached the office suites and tell one of his two or three male secretaries I want to see the president often you'd be told well he's busy now sit on that bench over there it might take a couple hours you would be admitted to the presence of the sitting president without being searched without being identified there were no methods of identifying people then there were no driver's license no photo ids and Lincoln would regularly place himself in the presence of strangers unknown to him Booth could have walked in Lincoln had seen Booth perform Lincoln would have been happy to receive Booth Lincoln loved reading Shakespeare to friends he corresponded with other actors Booth could have gained easy access to the white house and slaughtered Lincoln at his desk we'll never know why certainly Booth was building himself up to a climax to strike against Lincoln he was fantasizing about it he began drinking more heavily maybe he wasn't ready psychologically to kill until later I don't know why Booth didn't do it part of it perhaps maybe he wanted to kill Lincoln before an audience and really stage that performance the theater was actually a great way to do it and escape because the theater audience was so much more interested in the theater than because the theater audience was trapped in front of the orchestra and when Booth got on stage he was closer to the back escape route than the audience was and in fact only one man out of 1,500 people in the theater even stood up to pursue Booth so it was counter-intuitively smart to kill him in the theater and have his horse waiting in the back we'll never know why but it was a shocking lack of security Lincoln eschewed security the secretary of war tried to have him uh have more a hundred death threats were found in Lincoln's desk after he was assassinated he was almost assassinated in Baltimore on his way to Washington on the inaugural journey in 1861 it's almost as though even in a civil war that killed 600,000 people it was unimaginable that the president could be assassinated no sitting president had ever before been attacked and it was just beyond strangely beyond people's imagination I think at the time he'd even stalked Lincoln at the second inaugural he was within 50 feet of the president looking down on him while he read that magnificent with malice toward none with charity for all speech and getting drunk at a bar shortly after that he pounded his fist on the table and said to a friend what an excellent chance I had to kill the president on inauguration day he was almost as close to me as you are now and you've been listening to James Swanson author of Manhunt the 12-day chase for Lincoln's killer and my goodness what insight here thinking about that day in Lincoln's life on April 15th and that day in John Wilkes Booth's life and on a stage I have no doubt after having read this book and I love this book by the way go to Amazon and pick it up it is well worth reading you won't put it down actually he wanted to do it in the theater that's a great act of wood he wanted to stage his final performance when we come back more of this remarkable story the story

to james swanson author of manhunt the 12-day chase for lincoln's killer let's pick up where we last left off booth needed a catalyst though and that came when he visited ford's theater midday to pick up his mail and someone said lincoln is coming tonight and that's the trigger that set off the imaginary clock counting down in booth's mind he knew he would have eight or nine hours to reassemble his conspirators he had gathered them earlier several months before to kidnap abraham lincoln during the war and hold him hostage as a master stroke to end the war but that plan didn't work out booth wanted to do this because he hated lincoln lincoln was really an american caesar to john lokes booth he wanted to punish lincoln the tyrant he hoped to change history and of course he wanted eternal fame he had it in his lifetime but he wanted to be immortalized as a southern and ultimately an american patriot so he had just enough time to assemble his co-conspirators get his guns his supplies his horses send certain messages to people whose help he needed and just as the lincoln's were riding to ford's theater in their carriage with their theater guests john looks booth called the final meeting of his conspirators at 8 p.m at a hotel two blocks from ford's theater and that's the first moment he told them we strike tonight i shall kill lincoln alone he turned to another conspirator louis powell and ex-confederate soldier said you will go to the home of the secretary of state guided by david herald one of our other conspirators and you'll murder him in his bed he's been in a terrible carriage accident he's helpless he can't move go in and kill him he told george atzerod a german immigrant you will go to the hotel of the vice president where he is unguarded you will knock on his door and you will kill him when he answers the door with a knife attack or pistol fire they broke up the meeting and that was the last time the group of conspirators ever met together again in full you all know the rest of the story of of what melville called that bloody awful night and i won't rehearse the facts of the the facts of the assassination except to say booth performed it to the hilt he really created a new kind of art form which i've called in the book performance assassination he wanted to escape it wasn't a suicide mission but he wanted to be seen and celebrated when he crept to the president's box and shot lincoln and jumped to the stage of ford's theater he wasn't wearing a disguise he hadn't shaved his mustache he did nothing to conceal himself he turned to the audience and faced them and cried out the state motto of virginia six semper tyrannis that's always to tyrants then he cried out the south is avenged then just as he left the stage he really exalted to himself only a few people heard it but just before he vanished from sight he said i have done it and he went out the back and got on his horse the next 12 days is really a wonderful story of missed chances of luck and of irony booth was riding ahead of the news he made his way out of washington and he was able to survive because he had planned the route in advance he knew many of the people he would visit along the way including the notorious dr samuel mud who certainly should have been executed for his involvement with the booth plotters he encountered confederate women's secret agents and their teenage daughters young confederate soldiers 19 and 20 years old who swore they would help him former slave owners even some ex-slaves who helped him and guide him a wonderful man named thomas jones who was a confederate river agent who had ferried hundreds of people across the potomac river and helped booth and david herald cross after hiding them in a pine thicket for uh several days booth went the wrong way on the river he lost two days of time he injured his leg when he jumped from ford's theater and he had a wasted day at dr muds uh the pursuers and there were several thousand of them didn't know where booth was and they could only travel on horseback or by steamboat so it's really an incredible story of essentially one man on a horse or in a wagon or in a rowboat with one companion trying to outrun several thousand pursuers who had access to trains steamboats horses and the telegraph i do point out that if booth had not been injured and had a few pieces of bad luck i think he could have escaped he could have made it into the deep south where some counties had never seen a union soldier he could have made it into mexico which was his plan and he might have even escaped to europe ultimately i think he would have been caught there like john serratt one of his conspirators who did flee to canada fled to italy joined the pope's army but was recognized two years later and brought back to america for trial one thing that i enjoyed most about doing the book was meeting a number of incredible characters that i knew very little about at the beginning and i'll just name a few of them and then tell you how i think booth did get away with this there's fanny suard the wonderful daughter of secretary of state suard who valiantly helped battle against the the powerful assassin louis powell who stabbed her brothers who stabbed the u.s army nurse who almost stabbed her to death and her first-hand recollections which she recorded in her diary are a vivid wonderful moving horrifying shocking account of the suard attack sadly she died shortly after the assassination she would have been a wonderful writer another character laura keene the actress who was on stage and ran up to the box and cradled lincoln's head in her lap and his blood stained her dress i have quite a different take on laura keene she's she's portrayed quite heroically in all the other books on the lincoln assassination but i i reveal some interesting things about her and i invite you to reconsider her actions and what she did and said and one of my other favorite characters who added great insights into booth's psychology his state of mind his early years is his sister asia booth she wrote a secret book about her brother which was not published until years later but she began writing it in the 1870s and she did something which i'm going to read a brief passage from now that leads really to my final point about how booth got away with this she saw that her brother was going to become famous and she tried to influence it in the way we remember him and to her lincoln and her brother were paired tragic figures brought together mysteriously by history and this is what she said her brother and i'm quoting now saved his country from a king but he created for her a martyr he set the stamp of greatness on an epoch of history and gave all he had to build this enduring monument to his foe the south avenged the wrongs inflicted by the north a life inexpressibly dear was sacrificed wildly for what its possessor deemed best the life best beloved by the north was dashed madly out madly out when most triumphant let the blood of both cement the indissoluble union of our country do you see what she's done she's almost saying her brother is like a historically necessary figure like judas there can be no good friday without judas's betrayal somehow there can become no reunion of the country without the murder committed by her brother booth's body was returned to the family four years later it had been buried secretly and parts removed as souvenirs but vice president johnson succeeded to the presidency and he pardoned the surviving conspirators and he released from the grave those that had been executed and you've been listening to james swanson the author of manhunt the 12-day chase for lincoln's killer and i would urge you to go to amazon and pick up the book i promise you you will not put it down it's a heck of a story and in this man's eyes in john bullock's boots eyes he's the hero and he thinks in the end that he did something great and good and virtuous and that's what's so interesting about this story and that's what's so interesting about the nature of man the nature of sin and this is why the book is so compelling when we come back we're going to continue with this remarkable story and again the man who watched lincoln's assassination is something we did too go to alamericanstories.com you'll get lincoln's assassination through the eyes of the superintendent of dc's police department at the time played by one of the great reenactors in all of america the ford theaters reenactor he did that for us especially here on our american

the pro volleyball federation all-star match on february 22nd at 1 30 p.m be there and we continue here with our american stories and with the author james swanson the book manhunt the 12-day chase for lincoln's killer and now we return to james swanson and the story of john wilkes booth and to date the biggest manhunt in american history one of the most remarkable things i found in researching this book was what asia booth said about his grave and it really made me aware of of the memory of booth and and how we need to challenge it i think this is what she said that no no epitaph marks his grave and there's no stone he's buried in the booth family plot and her book closes with this graveside elegy but granting that he died in vain he gave his all on earth youth beauty manhood a great human love the certainty of excellence in his profession a powerful brain the strength of an athlete health and great wealth for his cause this man was noble in life he periled his immortal soul and he was brave in death already his hidden remains are given christian burial and strangers have piled his grave with flowers so runs the world away that was one of the most shocking things i'd read in the tens of thousands of pages that i read researching this book and in a way she's right and here's how i think booth has has gotten away with it in american memory we don't think of john wilkes booth the way we think of our other assassins lee harvey oswald james earl ray uh cypher men of no account accomplishment that we were vile for what they've done booth has his own monument it's called ford's theater in washington dc all his artifacts are in the basement museum there his diary as if awaiting a final entry is open for us to see the pistol he used to kill lincoln which children over a million of them visit a year and marvel at the photos of his girlfriends in his pockets near ford's theater there are street banners with his photograph blown up to massive size directing tourists to ford's theater i would would pose this question would you go to dallas texas to find lee harvey oswald banners near the book depository would you go to memphis and find james earl ray banners somehow booth has been drained by modern culture of his dangerousness of his evil nature the fact that he was a killer a racist he murdered our greatest president and yet we think of him in an almost antiquarian way we think of him as the tragic young actor who threw away his life and his talent and his talent for a cause that was wrong and i don't think we condemn him the way most americans did in 1865 i think this is partly because booth performed this so well and he's almost tricked us into believing this isn't quite real it's a it's a play he performed the assassination he performed his escape he performed wonderfully an impromptu play on the 12th night in the middle of the night when the soldiers surrounded him at the garrett barn and engaged him in dialogue and repartee and set the barn on fire those were the footlights of the stage and he knew that was his last performance for the american theater a couple other examples of how i think booth is has gotten away with this if you go to the new abraham lincoln museum in springfield the theater is dressed to appear just as it did on the night of april 14th 1865 the state box is festooned with flags and the framed engraving of george washington that hangs from the front of the box is the actual one that witnessed booth sleep to the stage you can follow booth steps up the curving staircase retrace his path to the box enter the vestibule and recreate his view of lincoln's rocking chair you can sit in the audience and while listening to a national park service historian lecture on the assassination you can stare up at the box and imagine booth suspended momentarily in mid-air at the apex of his leap john wilkes booth would have loved it an entire museum one of the most popular in america devoted to his crime i must have fame he once exordered himself fame in the main rotunda figures of the great frederick douglas of grant and sherman of tableau the entire lincoln family and who is looking at them with hate-filled eyes a life-size wax figure of john wilkes booth in the gift shop i found for sale to children toy derringer pistols it was unbelievable and i would say again would you find wax figures of oswald at the kennedy library in boston at wax figures of james rell ray at the king center atlanta or standing outside the lorraine motel or or replicas of oswald's manlic or cocano rifle for sale to our children i think not booth was so avid that before he killed lincoln the night of the 14th he wrote his own op-ed to be published in the papers the next day so that the american people could read why he killed lincoln he worked hard on it he sealed it in an envelope he handed it to an actor friend and said i may have to leave town rather quickly and i might not be coming back and if i don't come back will you deliver this to the national intelligence or new editor the next day the next day that man was so terrified that he had possession of that letter that he destroyed it and it was never published later he purported to reconstruct the letter but i i note in my book that i don't believe his reconstruction of the letter because his attempt to reconstruct the letter is based on a memo that booth wrote that was discovered in his sister's safe after the assassination so i think this actor john matthews made up the letter and didn't really remember it he just sort of paraphrased a known booth document uh the one thing he did the only thing he remembered about that letter which i do believe it was signed by booth and then he signed his co-conspirators names matthew was at and matthews was adamant that the others signed it but but we don't know what the we don't know what the content was but based on other booth documents we can guess he was crushed and he records this in his memo book during the escape he was crushed that that op-ed was not published then when he was hiding in that pine thicket for five days and four nights being cared for by thomas jones the confederate agent who brought him food booth also implored him bring me the newspapers we're not certain what all the issues were but based on the distribution of confederate uh mail we know that the confederates had access to certain northern papers pretty quickly and if booth had read any of them he would have read how he had been damned for this loathsome act and he was crushed to read his reviews it really took the wind out of his sails while he was hiding in this pine thicket he couldn't move at one point union cavalry came within 200 yards of his hiding place and he just had to sit there and wait and read what the north thought of him it was his lowest point uh in the escape when he saw that his own article had not been published and when he read the newspaper editorials condemning him with respect to what would have happened if lincoln survived it's the great unanswered question of the lincoln assassination who knows maybe lincoln's death made it easier for the republicans to pass the 13th 14th and 15th amendments i don't know maybe radical republicans would have found lincoln too lenient after all he just wanted them to go home to their farms lincoln didn't want to put any of the confederate leadership on trial not even jefferson davis himself he didn't want to try any of the generals for treason he wanted to have a easy peace for the south and bring the country together that's why he asked the band at the white house to play dixie a few days before he died he did that as a symbol that it's our song now it's not the southern song it's not the rebel song it's an american song maybe we would have done to him what the people of england did to the man i'm convinced saved them from nazi invasion when churchill was no longer needed out of course lincoln would have retained office he couldn't have been ousted from the presidency i'm convinced that somehow and maybe this is just a hope of mine that lincoln's generosity his magnificent insights into human nature and human psychology his wonderful ability to speak and write and communicate would have somehow made post-war life better for the freed slaves so in the end of the book i want to make sure that you don't sympathize with john wilkes booth there's a temptation to do it because he had a side that was charismatic that was mesmerizing and you spend 12 days with him in my book really i put you in the saddle with him side by side so that you meet everyone he met along the way and experience everything he did but booth is not the hero of my book certainly not the hero of the book and my hero is abraham is abraham lincoln and even though lincoln leaves the scene in the first quarter of the book i hope that you'll find that you find his memory and his presence and legacy to linger throughout the book and that by the time you get to the end when i finish with booth you'll agree with me that he's not a folk hero he's not an androkorean curiosity he was a racist a murderer and he killed one of the greatest of all americans and you've been listening to james swanson and what a story he tells by all means pick up manhunt the 12-day chase for lincoln's killer there's so
