Two days later he died and his assailants, James Norris and William Armstrong, were arrested and charged with his murder. Norris was tried and convicted first. As William \"Duff\" Armstrong waited for his trial, his own father died. James Armstrong's deathbed wish was that Duff's mother, Hannah, engage the best lawyer possible to defend Duff. The best person Hannah could think of was a friend, a young lawyer from Springfield by the name of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln took the case and with that begins one of the oddest journeys Lincoln took on his trek towards immortality. What really happened? How much did the moon reveal? What did Lincoln really know? Walsh makes a strong case for viewing Honest Abe in a different light in this tale of murder and moonlight. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoonlight\u003c\/i\u003e is a 2001 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Fact Crime.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Evangelist Walsh\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than a dozen books of history and biography, including \u003ci\u003eMidnight Dreary: The Mysterios Death of Edgar Allen Poe\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eUnraveling Piltdown: The Science Fraud of the Century and Its Solution\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Shadows Rise: Abraham Licoln and the Ann Rutledge Legend\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.93 x 8.55 x 5.81 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 30, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Edgar Allan Poe Awards (2001)\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42120123547728,"sku":"9780312229221","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/VFRCeStOS3dFWXpHem5ZL0s4bjV0dz09.webp?v=1773125279","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/moonlight-abraham-lincoln-and-the-almanac-trial-abraham-lincoln-and-the-almanac-trial-hardcover","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
