Résumé

In "Lincoln's Last Hours, " Charles Augustus Leale presents a gripping and detailed account of the final moments of President Abraham Lincoln's life following his assassination in 1865. Written with a poignant clarity that reflects both the urgency and tragedy of the events, Leale's narrative merges personal reflection with historical detail, illuminating the chaotic atmosphere in Ford's Theatre and the subsequent efforts to save Lincoln.
As a firsthand witness and the only physician present immediately after the shooting, Leale's recounting offers a unique perspective that enriches our understanding of this monumental tragedy in American history and enhances the reader's grasp of the emotional weight carried by such fateful moments. Charles Augustus Leale was a young Union Army surgeon who treated Lincoln as the President lay mortally wounded.
Drawing from his experiences on the battlefield and a profound respect for Lincoln, Leale's desire to honor the President's legacy is evident in his poignant prose.
