This article focuses on the book "Myths After Lincoln," by Lloyd Lewis. Writing in the staccato paragraphs Lloyd Lewis has assembled in a single volume virtually all of the sporadic folk-tales that have spring up, provincially, about the name of Former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, since his death, and that of John Wilkes Booth, his destroyer. He prefaces his house of myths with a portico of one hundred and fifty pages in order to introduce his reader to his some what faulty interpretation of Lincoln's simplified plan of reconstruction, to narrate the incidents leading to the tragedy at Ford's theater, and to describe the events of the President's funeral train from Washington to Springfield.
