At the end of the summer of 1859, twenty-two-year-old Peachy Quinn Harrison went on trial for murder in Springfield, Illinois. Abraham Lincoln, who had been involved in more than three thousand casesincluding more than twenty-five murder trialsduring his two-decades-long career, was hired to defend him. This was to be his last great case as a lawyer. "Lincolns Last Trial" captures the presidential hopefuls dramatic courtroom confrontations in vivid detail as he fights for his clientbut also for his own blossoming political future. It is a moment in history that shines a light on our legal system, as in this case Lincoln fought a legal battle that remains incredibly relevant today.
