Unsolved History is history the way it was! Through detailed examination of archaeological and forensic evidence, existing photographs, authentic artifacts, and carefully selected interviews from eyewitnesses and experts events are reconstructed and historical questions are finally answered.
Before John Wilkes Booth fired that fatal shot in the balcony of Ford's Theater on the night of April 14, 1865, President Lincoln was the target of at least five other assassination conspiracies. Join the experts from Unsolved History as they use the latest forensic analysis techniques and stage dramatic recreations of historic events to shed light on each of these little-known plots.
Learn about a secret plan to ambush the President-elect's coach as he traveled to Washington to deliver his inaugural address. Discover evidence of a Confederate scheme to kidnap Lincoln and use him as a bargaining chip at the post-Civil War negotiation table. Plus, historians reveal a crude plan to kill Lincoln with Yellow Fever, details of a land mine that was nearly buried beneath the White House and more.
Finally, take a closer look at the one successful assassination attempt. Ballistics experts examine the available forensic evidence to determine just which firearm Booth used to shoot Lincoln, while historic documents expose the killer's connections to the shadowy Confederate Secret Service. |
