Twelve Days in April
Five days after the Civil War effectively ended, the president who had guided the Union through it was gone. This episode, we dig into Killing Lincoln by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard to relive Abraham Lincoln’s final days, the conspiracy that unfolded across Washington, his assassination at Ford’s Theatre, and the twelve-day manhunt for John Wilkes Booth that followed. It’s a story of victory turning to tragedy—and of one violent night that changed who would lead America into Reconstruction.
