This is the story of Lincoln's fraught 1861 travel by rail from Springfield to the swamps of DC for his first inauguration, racing against a critical deadline and under threats of assassination. Like the train he is taking, Widmer's narrative has a propulsive energy. And though we know the end of the story, the book bristles with suspense. Will Lincoln reach his destination alive? Along the way is a treasure trove of fascinating detail, city by city, town by town, against the backdrop of a country swiftly devolving into civil war.
