The Man Who Shot the Man Who Shot Lincoln: and 44 other forgotten figures in history Hardback - 2010

by Graeme Donald


From the publisher

Graeme Donald has written and broadcast on the origins of words, nursery rhymes, superstitions and popular misconceptions for many years. His most recent book is Loose Cannons (Osprey, 2009). For the ten years that Today newspaper was on the stands he wrote a daily column exploring such material and also wrote for The Mirror and The Age in Melbourne. He devised and set the questions for Back to Square One, a word-origins based panel game which ran for eight series on Radio 2 and World Service. He has also guested on countless radio and television shows, either to explain words and customs at special times - Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc. - or simply to field listeners' or viewers' question.

Media reviews

"Graeme deftly mixes those deserving of recognition with those who are overrated, painting a picture of past events that is at once more fascinating, more human, and a bit less familiar. The details are rich, the stories compelling, and the characters larger than life. It’s when you start digging into the real minutiae that history comes alive, and Graeme’s book delivers in spades, adding vividness and personality to strange and influential moments in time." - Glenn Dallas, Sacramento Book Review
