More from 1861

As you may have noticed I am sort of loosely following the events of 150 years ago and today according to the wikipedia

President-elect Abraham Lincoln arrives secretly in Washington, D.C., after the thwarting of an alleged assassination plot in Baltimore, Maryland.

  1. I can't find the film as a rental but if you can find "The Tall Target", is a "film noir" movie based on the attempt to kill President-elect Lincoln.

    No exactly history but a pretty good private eye story that takes place on the train to Washington.
