But danger was around the bend, as a band of fanatic southern Confederate sympathizers were desperate for Lincoln to die. Furious at the new president's desire to end slavery, they devised a plan. Lincoln would be murdered by an assassin's bullet in Baltimore. As rushing railway trains carried Abraham Lincoln towards disaster, Detective Allan Pinkerton sniffed out the plot-and he and his detective assistants hatched a daring plan of their own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDive into this incredibly fun and suspenseful true story, and learn about Lincoln's great escape!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne Jurmain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1499814313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781499814316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yellow Jacket\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e517490 \/ Murder on the Baltimore Express: The Plot to Keep Abraham Lincoln from Becoming President\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Suzanne Jurmain","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132551393535,"sku":"9781499814316","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5f287d1-35b1-4a11-a167-6264a41ee5cf.jpg?v=1687480878","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murder-on-the-baltimore-express-suzanne-jurmain-9781499814316","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
