　　The assassination of Abraham Lincoln is a central drama of the

American experience. Its impact is felt to this day, and the basic

story is known to all. Anthony Pitch’s thrilling account of the

Lincoln conspiracy and its aftermath transcends the mere facts of

that awful night during which dashing actor John Wilkes Booth shot

Lincoln in the head and would-be assassin Lewis Payne butchered

Secretary of State William Seward in the bed of his own home.“They

Have Killed Papa Dead!”transports the reader to one of the most

breathtaking moments in history, and reveals much that is new about

the stories, passions, and times of those who shaped this great

tragedy.

Virtually every word of Anthony Pitch’s account is based on

primary source material: new quotes from previously unpublished

diaries, letters and journals – authentic contemporary voices

writing with freshness and clarity as eyewitnesses or intimate

participants – new images, a new vision and understanding of one of

America’s defining moments. With an unwavering fidelity to

historical accuracy, Pitch provides new confirmation of threats

against the president-elect’s life as he traveled to Washington by

train for his first inauguration, and a vivid personal account of

John Wilkes Booth being physically restrained from approaching

Lincoln at his second inauguration. Perhaps most chillingly, new

details come to light about conditions in the special prison where

the civilian conspirators accused of participating in the Lincoln

assassination endured tortuous conditions in extreme isolation and

deprivation, hooded and shackled, before and even during their

military trial. Pitch masterfully synthesizes the findings of his

prodigious research into a tight, gripping narrative that adds

important new insights to our national story.
