Reviews
"Bogar painstakingly rehearses each and every actor, manager or stagehand, many of whom knew Booth well, for a run-through of the horrendous shooting and escape and delineates how individual versions varied hugely and would determine important legal consequences in a court of law. " -- Kirkus Reviews "In their myriad accounts then and later, who was telling the truth and who was inventing? Bogar takes on all of these and more, and provides a fascinating look at the rest of their lives and the way few of them ever really escaped being a witness to history." -- HistoryBookClub.com "In Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination, Thomas A. Bogar has done a masterful job of tracking them all down. His fascinating story follows not just the actors and theater owners but the orchestra conductor, the scene painter, even the ticket taker and errand boy." -- The Courier Journal "Dr. Bogar's scholarship is original and impeccable. With stunning clarity, this vivid narrative shines a light into the shadows and behind the scenes of the most resonant crime in American history. Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination is an indispensable resource for understanding the width, breadth and scope of the tragedy at Ford's Theatre." -- Erik Jendresen, writer/producer Killing Lincoln, Band of Brothers
