BOOK #90

"You shot me down...bang, bang. I hit the ground...bang bang. That awful soung...bang bang..."

Starting the home stretch to book 100 with a bang, book 90 gives us the idea of the 12 day search for Lincoln's killer. In Manhunt, a book by James Swanson, it gives you an interesting story, and an account of the search for John Wilkes Booth, after that fateful night he shot the president of the United States. Booth went on the run after shooting the president, and Swanson takes you on an exciting journey, as the people in the book, and you, go looking for Lincoln's killer.

Some interesting things to think about as you read this book:

-How did Booth shoot Lincoln so easily?

-How did he just jump down from the box seats after shooting Lincoln, and get away like he did?

-Why did he believe that he was "supposed" to, or chosen if you will, to kill Lincoln. He believed that he was doing the United States a favor. Says who?

So, please take the journey with us, as we follow the people, and the killer, who got rid of some say one of the greatest presidents we have ever had. Booth killed our 16th president. Find out some answers.
