GIVEAWAY: Stealing Lincoln's Body!

5/10/2009 Posted by Admin


Week in Rewind in pleased to offer a giveaway of
Stealing Lincoln's Body!


Own it on DVD May 26, 2009!

Thanks to our friends at A&E
for this opportunity!

Product description: "One of the strangest, most intriguing, and yet almost unknown episodes in American history unfolded in 1876, eleven years after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. A band of Chicago counterfeiters hatched a plot to steal the President's body from its tomb outside Springfield, Illinois, and hold it for a ransom of $200,000. A paid informant told the newly formed Secret Service. When both the police and the criminals showed up at the cemetery on the appointed night, the scheme was foiled.

STEALING LINCOLN'S BODY, a feature-length special from HISTORY, explores the peculiar confluence of historical trends and cultural movements that prompted the crime: the 20 birth of counterfeiting, the growth of embalming, and the influence of secret societies in American life, among others. But above all, the story shows how important this beloved President remained to a public so unprepared for his violent death in 1865. Startling and informative, this fast paced story shot in HD is certainly one you didn’t hear in school!"


The contest will end on July 7, 2009.

We are giving away FIVE copies.
