Meet author, museum curator, and historian Karen Stone as she joins us for a book signing of Shipwreck on the Potomac.
In April 1865, after Lincoln’s assassination, John Wilkes Booth and David Herold fled across the Potomac. The barge Black Diamond, guarding against their escape, unknowingly missed them. A sudden collision with the steamer Massachusetts sank the vessel, killing 87. Karen Stone uncovers this often overlooked, haunting tale of pursuit, tragedy, and loss.
