Author Thomas Craughwell tells the story of the attempted theft of the 16th president's remains on the eve the 1876 election in "Stealing Lincoln's Body." Several Chicago counterfeiters planned to hold Lincoln's corpse ransom in exchange for the release of a counterfeiting cohort who was imprisoned. Mr. Craughwell details how the plan was hatched and how it was foiled.
