Muehlberger is not just any history book but a detailed and interesting detailed history book! A book that takes you further into the history then just the facts. The 116 is about the men who held back an army so Lincoln could escape when the war first started, but who were these men and what would have happened if they weren't there? This book pulls you into the times and makes you feel like you are there, feeling the rift in society, knowing the people, the weather, the hardships, it shows you the bickering quotes between fractions, lets you read want ad posters, the price of food, and get to know the men who stood with Lincoln. It is very well written and just doesn't concentrate on that incident alone but takes you back to several incidents to mesh things together. I like a history book that makes me feel I am reliving history, not reading it. Well done. I received this book from NetGalley for a honest review and it has no effect on my rating or review content.

The 116 is the definitive account of the Frontier Guard who defended President Lincoln from a kidnapping and assassination plot in the opening days of the Civil War. Based on more than 500 original sources discovered at the Library of Congress, The 116 delves into the lives of these 116 men and their charismatic leader Kansas "free state" advocate and lawyer Jim Lane. It paints a provocative portrait of the 'civil war' between Free-State and Pro-Slavery forces that tore Missouri and the Kansas Territory apart in the 1850s, and gives a vivid picture of the legal battles pertaining to the protection and abolition of slavery that riled Congress on both a federal and state level, eventually leading to the eruption of war in 1861."
