Tall Target, The (1951)
Summary: The plot to kill Lincoln as he passed through Baltimore on his way to Washngton D.C. to be inaugurated in 1961 is in no way historically doubtful. This incident, called "The Baltimore Plot" by such well-known Lincoln scholars as Mark Neely Jr. ("The Abraham Lincoln Encyclopedia") is an historical fact.
