Lincoln's last trial : the murder case that propelled him to the presidency / Dan Abrams and David Fisher.

Abrams, Dan, 1966- (author,, narrator.). Fisher, David, 1946- (author.). Verner, Adam, (narrator.).

Summary:

At the end of the summer of 1859, twenty-two-year-old Peachy Quinn Harrison went on trial for murder in Springfield, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln was hired to defend him. This was to be his last great case as a lawyer. The case posed painful personal challenges for Lincoln. The murder victim had trained for the law in his office, and Lincoln had been his friend and his mentor. His accused killer, the young man Lincoln would defend, was the son of a close friend and loyal supporter. And to win this trial he would have to form an unholy allegiance with a longtime enemy, a revivalist preacher he had twice run against for political office.
