A review by whiskedawayreads
Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination: The Untold Story of the Actors and Stagehands at Ford's Theatre by Thomas A. Bogar

informative slow-paced

1.0

I would guess that the author bit off more than he could chew in writing this historical piece. There were too many characters that were being detailed in depth, as well as the need for more names versus pronouns being utilized to aid in differentiating all the people. It seemed more like a book to exonerate Spangler than anything else. The pace to almost too slow, with so many characters having little to no role within the narrative. The narrator also would make grammatical speaking errors, which was frustrating.
