Lincoln's Last Trial is a well-written, compelling telling of Lincoln's last major case (a murder trial) prior to his election as the 16th President. Told through the point of view of Robert Hitt, scribe to the trial, whose handwritten manuscript of the trial discovered in 1989 is the basis of the book, we learn how well-respected Lincoln was as a lawyer and a man. His decades long law practice had spread his reputation far and wide in Illinois, and the recent Lincoln-Douglas debates had put him in the national spotlight. He was held in high esteem by his peers as well as townspeople as an honest man committed to the truth.Abrams does a good job of describing the societal and political currents of the time. We are also reminded that "Lincoln was one of the giants who literally set the bar for the legal profession in America." and that he and his colleagues literally were "establishing precedents that future courts would come to rely on".The trial itself took place in 1859, following the Lincoln-Douglas debates and only 9 months before the Republican convention. It was personally challenging for Lincoln. He was well acquainted with, and liked, both the defendant "Peachy" Quinn who Lincoln was representing, and the victim, Greek Crafton.The trial itself was fascinating. To actually hear (via the trial transcript) Lincoln in action was amazing!One thing that I didn't like was that Abrams would break up the momentum of the trial by inserting writings about prior cases Lincoln had been part of. I would have preferred the trial to continue uninterrupted.Overall, an enjoyable and interesting read.Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Hanover Square Books for permitting me access to an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

The authors give the reader a ring-side seat at the trial of The State of Illinois vs. "Peachy" Quinn Harrison. It was Abraham Lincoln's last major murder trial before his presidential election and it was a nail-biter! The trial was held in the Springfield State Court House in 1859. Lincoln had already shot into the public eye after his seven debates with Stephen Douglas the summer before. Lincoln knew both the victim and the murderer and chose to join the defense team. Was it a case of murder or self-defense?Lincoln became a lawyer in 1839. He was essentially self-taught and continued to read the law throughout his lifetime. He rode the Illinois Circuit Court for twenty years trying over 2000 cases of which two dozen were murder trials. Other cases Lincoln prosecuted are touched upon to give the reader a sense of his style and diligence to see justice served. A fellow lawyer and prosecution opponent in this very trial noted, "Well, you know Abe ...He could sell you a mule, convince you it's a stallion and have you end up thanking him for the bargain." On the other hand, a fellow circuit lawyer wrote, " He could compel a witness to tell the truth when he meant to lie. He could make a jury laugh and generally weep, at his pleasure....He understood, almost intuitively the jury, witnesses, parties and judges and how to best address, convince and influence them." Lincoln tried three cases before the Illinois Superior Court and one case before the US Supreme Court. Abe Lincoln and his peers were at the cutting edge of many new laws as the young nation was dealing with territories, new states and a trans-continental railroad.How are the particulars of this 1859 murder trial known? Lincoln hired a court stenographer, Robert Roberts Hitt, who using a gold-nibbed ink pen, transcribed verbatim the trial proceedings. Hitt telegraphed his notes back to a Chicago paper which published them. Miraculously, the original transcriptions were found tied with a ribbon in a shoebox in a Fresno, California garage in1989. For the lucky reader, the transcripts provide as spell-binding an account as if this trial were in the news today.
What a fascinating book this is. Reading like a novel, it reveals the history of a murder case in which Abraham Lincoln defended an accused young man in Springfield, Illinois, in 1859. Due to the great good fortune of a transcript of the trial being found in the 1980’s, we are able to follow the trial almost verbatim from that hot summer so long ago.Before the development of stenography, verbatim transcripts of trials simply didn’t exist. We are lucky that Robert Hitt, a steno man who was known to Abraham Lincoln, was invited to come to Springfield to cover the murder trial in which Lincoln was one of the defending attorneys. This could have been a dry, textbook-like book, but instead it draws the reader in with its immediacy.Although most of the book is about the actual trial, the context in which the trial was set is beautifully explained. The Lincoln-Douglas debates (which Hitt had also covered) had recently taken place, elevating Abraham Lincoln to the national stage. It was clear that he was likely to make a try for the Republican candidacy for president, and the eyes of the nation were watching the trial to see what kind of man he was. Neither they, nor we, will be disappointed.If you are a student of history, interested in Abraham Lincoln in particular, or just like legal thrillers, this is the book for you. It is a most interesting look at a time of Lincoln’s life which is less well-known than his early or later years, at a time when he was making his living as a lawyer in the growing Midwest. Here we see him as those who knew him best saw him, in his own time and place.I am so glad I read this book, and I heartily recommend itThanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.
