40 Acres

by Warren Bull

What if, on April 15, 1865, Abraham Lincoln, with his wife and friends, enjoyed the production of "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theater while John Wilkes Booth paced back and forth in a jail cell? What if he had been arrested earlier that night for murdering a man Booth mistakenly thought was the sixteenth president? What if, later on, Lincoln had won Congressional approval for William Sherman's Special Field Order 15 that provided up to 40 acres of land, previously owned by Confederates, to emancipated Blacks? (There were not enough mules for everyone.)

Award-winning fiction writer and historian Warren Bull combines his storytelling and historical writing to this novel that has been described as, "Thrilling."
