Lincoln, Sherman, Davis and the Lost Confederate Gold Patricia G McNeely

The destinies of President Lincoln, General Sherman and Confederate President Davis are forever bound to the Lost Confederate Gold, but questions still linger about those astonishing events: * Why did President Andrew Johnson's administration believe General Sherman had been bribed with Confederate gold to let Jefferson Davis escape through the Carolinas and Georgia? * Who were the Confederate secret agents who had been in Canada, and why was a reward issued for their capture after Lincoln was assassinated? * How did John Wilkes Booth escape so easily across a guarded bridge after Lincoln's assassination, and why do the descendants of John Wilkes Booth want DNA samples from the 3 vertebrae taken during the autopsy of the man believed to be the killer? * Why did the Federal government launch decades of lawsuits and send treasury agents in search of gold in the Confederate states and England? * Why was neutral England asked to cede Canada and forced to pay $15.5 million to the United States after the war? Find the answers in this intriguing new book about the Confederate gold and the amazing last days of the Civil War.
