Sounds interesting. I guess it goes into the conspiracy theory behind Lincoln's assassination and the details of Mudd's involvement?

I actually just started it. Only about 30 pages in. So far it's been focusing on Booth's activities leading up to and setting up the assassination

I'm reading Moby Dick for my personal reading and I'm reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to my kids.

"The Path Between the Seas" by David McCullough. Outstanding book.

Won the National Book Award when it was first published. Typical McCullough book. Superbly written.

I was fascinated to learn that the French attempted to build the canal first and failed. One of the biggest financial disasters/scandals in history.
