Abraham Lincoln's Traveling Medicine Show (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798317146634)

Historical fiction meets political satire.
Seamlessly mixing fact with fiction, Abraham Lincoln's Traveling Medicine Show, is a theatrical retelling of the Lincoln assassination, the hunt for John Wilkes Booth, and the thirteen-day presidential funeral, as seen through the eyes of the doctors, soldiers, friends, and family members - Union loyalists and Confederate sympathizers - who find themselves players in a tragedy spun out of control by the political agenda of others.
It's a tale of truth; both the search for and the avoidance of it, echoing on issues still relevant today on topics that range from the role of women in society, to racism, homophobia, and the division of country.
The drama is fierce. The humor is dark. And the story is true. Sort of.
