Author to present program on Abraham Lincoln assassination Sunday at Quincy Senior Center

QUINCY — Popular author Timothy Good will present “The Abraham Lincoln Assassination,” a program that offers many viewpoints about what actually happened during Lincoln’s assassination as highlighted in his book “We Saw Lincoln Shot: One Hundred Eyewitness Accounts.” The program will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 24, in the Quincy Senior and Family Resource Center, 639 York.

Providing minute first-hand details recorded during a span of 90 years, “We Saw Lincoln Shot” explores a subject that will forever be debated. With a sharp focus upon the circumstances reported by 100 actual witnesses, “We Saw Lincoln Shot” provides documentation of a momentous evening and exposes errors that have been perpetuated as the assassination has been rendered into written histories.

Good is the author of “American Privateers in the War of 1812,” “Lincoln for President” and “The Lincoln Douglas Debates.”

“The Abraham Lincoln Assassination” is presented by the Historical Society of Quincy and Adams County. It is free and open to the public.
