Abraham Lincoln's greatcoat has been called "a seminal piece of the American story." After her husband's death, Mrs. Lincoln gave the greatcoat to a White House doorkeeper. More than a century after her bequest, the coat was returned to Ford's Theatre, but not before it underwent a mysterious and exciting journey. This book recounts that journey.
