Review - The Million Dollar Man Who Helped Kill a President by Christopher Lyle McIlwain

Christopher Lyle McIlwain, Sr., The Million Dollar Man Who Helped Kill a President: George Washington Gayle and the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln (Savas Beatie, 2018).

I read this book straight through with increased interest at every turn of the page…and I don’t want to spoil the intricacies of the ending. Let’s just say that Gayle used the “I was just kidding” defense and well…he was not among those on the gallows when justice was finally served...so go figure.

With compliments,
