JOHN WILKES BOOTH - FOR FREE!
The common wisdom is that John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln, was a madman and a failure as an actor.
But the truth is that Wilkes was the matinee idol of his time – and the attack on Lincoln was not the act of a maniac, but a part of a plan developed at the highest levels of the Confederacy.
In “Consider the Elephant,” the story of Wilkes’ life and death is told by his brother, Edwin, the greatest Shakespearean actor of his age. Soaked in the ambiance of life in the American theater in the mid nineteenth century, the novel by Aram Schefrin lays out in detail the path Wilkes took to the top of the celebrity heap, his rivalry with his brother and the development in Richmond of the plot to kidnap – later assassinate – the Union President.
You can read the entire novel, or listen to it, for free - at ConsiderTheElephant.com. This is one of the first novels with hyperlinks built in - if you're reading along and are puzzled or curious, click on the links to fund much more information on the facts on which the book is based.
If you prefer not to read the book on your computer screen, copy and print out the chapters. Or get it for your PDA or cell phone at mobipocket.com. Or for your Amazon Kindle. Or you can download the audio at iTunes, Amazon.com or Audible.com.
