In The Assassin's Accomplice, historian Kate Clifford Larson tells the gripping story of Mary Surratt, a little-known participant in the plot to kill Abraham Lincoln, and the first woman ever to be executed by the federal government of the United States. Surratt, a Confederate sympathizer, ran the boarding house in Washington where the conspirators-including her rebel son, John Surratt-met to plan the assassination. When a military tribunal convicted her for her crimes and sentenced her to death, five of the nine commissioners petitioned President Andrew Johnson to show mercy on Surratt because of her sex and age. Unmoved, Johnson refused-Surratt, he said, "kept the nest that hatched the egg." Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, The Assassin's Accomplice tells the intricate story of the Lincoln conspiracy through the eyes of its only female participant. Based on long-lost interviews, confessions, and court testimony, the text explores how Mary's actions defied nineteenth-century norms of femininity, piety, and motherhood, leaving her vulnerable to deadly punishment historically reserved for men. A riveting narrative account of sex, espionage, and murder cloaked in the enchantments of Southern womanhood, The Assassin's Accomplice offers a fresh perspective on America's most famous murder.

While the film “The Conspirator” presents a somewhat sympathetic portrait of Mary Surratt, this book, its inspiration, does not — though at the outset of the project Ms. Larson expected to find that Mary Surratt was innocent, or at least less guilty. Instead, Ms. Larson became convinced of her overwhelming guilt, and based on the evidence she presents, it’s hard to think otherwise.It’s a quick, absorbing read, despite being too detailed in spots. It excels in providing the flavor of the times: the special turmoil of the border states, the widespread Southern espionage, the massive grief and fury at Lincoln’s death. I appreciated too the epilogue, which gives the fate of Mary Surratt’s children and others affected by the trial.
