The Plot to Steal the Body of Abraham Lincoln
Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography & More
The 1876 plot to steal the body of Abraham Lincoln is one of the strangest and most audacious crimes in American history.
The scheme aimed to ransom the corpse of the assassinated president in exchange for the release of a jailed criminal and a huge sum of money.
Although the attempt ultimately failed, it triggered years of secrecy, multiple reburials of Lincoln’s remains, and the creation of a private guard to protect the tomb.
