Lincoln's Last Trial Young Readers' Edition by David Fisher

In 1859, twenty-two-year-old Peachy Quinn Harrison went on trial for murder in Springfield, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln was hired to defend him. Lincoln had been involved in more than three thousand cases--including more than twenty-five murder trials. This would be his last great case.Taking this case was a risky decision for Lincoln. He was being urged to run for the presidency in 1860. His reputation was untarnished, but should he lose this trial, the spotlight now focused on him might dim. The case posed personal challenges for Lincoln, too. The murder victim had worked in his office. The accused killer was the son of a close friend and loyal supporter. And to win this trial he would have to partner with a longtime enemy.Lincoln's Last Trial captures the presidential hopeful's dramatic courtroom confrontations in vivid detail as he fights for his client--but also for his own blossoming political future.
