Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. v, [1], 282 pages. The Gallery (Illustrations). Notes. Index. Inscribed by Leonard F.

Leonard Francis "Len" Guttridge (27 August 1918-7 June 2009) was an English historian and author. His first book was Jack Teagarden: the Story of a Jazz Maverick, which he co-authored with Jay Smith.

The remarkable source material ranges from a rogues' gallery of unpublished photos to deciphered intelligence locked within a nineteenth century military tome to the tape-recorded memories of a centenarian. The most eye-opening account of Lincoln's assassination ever to be published,
