Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley.  A Confederate, a madman, and an anarchist. Three US presidents assassination in less than 50 years.   In Assassination Vacation, Sarah Vowel follows the threads of these assassinations from the free love of the Oneida commune to a prison on Dry Tortuga.  Meandering and personal, it is closer to something Bill Bryson would write than something David McCullough would write.   I’m more of a reader than a listener, but if you love audio books or have a long car trip planned, the audio version features Conan O’Brien, Stephen King, Catherine Keener, Jon Stewart, and Sarah Vowel (NPR/Violet from the Incredibles).  Assassination Vacation on Amazon
