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 Lincoln want the Confederate President and his cabinet to “escape the country” after the war? * Why did President Johnson’s administration believe General Sherman had been bribed with Confederate gold to let Jefferson Davis escape through North Carolina? * 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 amazing last days of the Civil War.

McNeely's story of the Confederate Gold reads like a nonfiction thriller By Margaret Meps Schulte The end of the Civil War is full of gripping stories, not about battles, but about individuals trying to make the best of a bad situation. With careful historical research, Pat McNeely links those stories to unravel one of the most fascinating mysteries of the war: What became of the gold taken from the Confederate treasury in the last days of the conflict?McNeely weaves together the stories behind Lincoln's assassination, Jefferson Davis' cross-country flight, and the "weary thirty days" of Captain William Parker, whose naval midshipmen guarded the loot, a train full of gold and silver trying to cross country where the rail lines had been destroyed.Was General Sherman bribed to allow Davis to escape? There's no proof of bribery, but much proof of miscommunication. The confusion which plagued all the players in this very real drama makes for excellent reading, and you won't want to put the book down until you know the whole story.--Margaret Meps Schulte, author of STRANGERS HAVE THE BEST CANDY
