The 116 : the true story of Abraham Lincoln's lost guard / James P. Muehlberger ; research assistance by Debby Lowery and Judy Sweets.
The 116 is the definitive account of the Frontier Guards who defended President Lincoln from a kidnapping and assassination plot in the opening days of the Civil War. The 116 delves into the lives of these 116 men and their charismatic leader--Kansas "free state" advocate and lawyer Jim Lane. It paints a provocative portrait of the "civil war" between Free-State and Pro-Slavery forces that tore Missouri and the Kansas Territory apart in the 1850s and provides a vivid portrayal of the battles pertaining to the protection and abolition of slavery that riled Congress on both a federal and state level, eventually leading to the eruption of war in 1861.
