Hello! Did you by any chance read Brenda Wineapple's The Impeachers? If so, did you like it? I am not very well-versed in this 'immediately after Lincoln's assassination' period of time, but I've recently watched Apple TV's Manhunt and, well, I want to know more. Either way, I hope you have a wonderful day!
All of Brenda Wineapple's books are excellent, and The Impeachers: The Trial of Andrew Johnson and the Dream of a Just Nation (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) is no exception. I'd definitely recommend it.
A few other recommendations focusing on that time period you're speaking of are:
•Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by David O. Stewart [2009]
•High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Impeachment and Trial of Andrew Johnson by Gene Smith [1976]
•Andrew Johnson and Ulysses S. Grant: Their Epic Battle (BOOK | KINDLE) by Garry Boulard [2022]
Those are all more focused on Andrew Johnson's chaotic succession to the Presidency following Lincoln's assassination, his impeachment, and the Senate trial which very nearly removed him from office. If Apple TV's "Manhunt" is what piqued your interest, I'd definitely suggest the two books that directly inspired the series:
•Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by James L. Swanson [2006]
•Bloody Crimes: The Chase for Jefferson Davis and the Death Pageant for Lincoln's Corpse (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by James L. Swanson [2010]
Of course, one of the main characters in "Manhunt" is Lincoln's Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, played by Tobias Menzies. I'm still bothered that he didn't have a beard in the series since Stanton had one of the great beards of the 19th Century, but you can do a deep dive into Stanton's life (he also wasn't a detective/borderline action hero as portrayed in the series) along with some of the other figures of that early Reconstruction era who were characters in "Manhunt":
•Stanton: Lincoln's War Secretary (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Walter Stahr [2017]
•Lincoln's Autocrat: The Life of Edwin Stanton (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by William Marvel [2016]
•American Brutus: John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln Conspiracies (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) by Michael W. Kauffman [2004]
•Capitol Men: The Epic Story of Reconstruction Through the Lives of the First Black Congressmen by Philip Dray [2008] -- A great book about the nearly two dozen often-overlooked (and sometimes completely forgotten) Black men elected to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives from the Deep South during Reconstruction. This is a group of figures from American history desperately in need of a Ken Burns-style documentary.
Elvis Presley cuts his first cousin Gene Smith's hair in his dressing room during production of the Paramount Pictures/Hal Kanter musical drama Loving You in 1957. ✂️ Gene was Elvis's mother's sister's son, born six weeks before Presley and his twin brother Jesse (who died during childbirth). Due to their proximity in age and the loss of Presley's brother, Gene and Elvis were extremely close during their childhood and remained bonded (with a few road bumps) for the rest of Presley's life.

“Priscilla flew back to West Germany and Elvis proceeded to mope around Graceland, until finally, Elvis asked me, ‘What do you think of ‘Cilla, Cuz?’. I said, ‘Back she’ll be’. Elvis said, ‘So-o-o-o hope I’… And then Elvis would become difficult to deal with again, moping around the house like living in this world was more trouble than it was worth”
whatever you may think of Priscilla, there’s no denying she had Elvis down bad, this man was moping 😩
(excerpt from “Elvis’s Man Friday” by Gene Smith)

It’s a fairly cut-and-dried affair when it comes to the merest mention of the name Elvis: the folks who cared about him begin to smile, and those who didn’t care for him at all frown, or scowl, and the latter react this way because they never knew Elvis at all.
