"These emotional photographs, many never-before-seen, remember the urgency and tragedy of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination and the moving farewell from hundreds of thousands of people who stood patiently in the searing heat along the roadsides down the east coast to watch his funeral train travel slowly from New York to Washington D.C., just as Abraham Lincoln's had 103 years before. Essays by Norman Mailer (reporting in 1968 from the funeral) as well as a retelling of the passage of the funeral train on June 8, 1968, by Newsweek editor and RFK biographer Evan Thomas, joins the tribute given by Robert Kennedy's brother Senator Edward M. Kennedy, to evoke how this man and his vision of America touched us with idealism and humanity." (the publisher) Published on the occasion of Robert F. Kennedy's 75th birthday.
