Life
Evelyn Lincoln was the daughter of the politician John N. Norton . She was the personal secretary of the President of the United States , John F. Kennedy , from 1953 to 1963, from his election to the United States Senate until his assassination ( assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy ) . Evelyn Lincoln was part of noted reporting because she took numerous documents and legacies relating to John F. Kennedy and sold them after his murder and because of statements in a book she published. In her 1968 book Kennedy and Johnson , she claimed that President Kennedy had told her three days before the assassination that he would replace his then Vice-President, Lyndon B. Johnson . Since Kennedy became his successor in the office of President after Kennedy's death and he was not trusted to take another path, such as his own choice, this statement served some conspiracy theorists as evidence of the so-called LBJ conspiracy theory .
