The Hunt for John Wilkes Booth
S1 E1:
It was the largest manhunt in history - ten thousand federal troops detectives and police hunted those responsible for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The conspiracy was vast - an effort to decapitate the United States government at the end of the Civil War. The manhunt was intense - ending 12 days later in a fiery showdown with the man who pulled the trigger - John Wilkes Booth.
