I love the Mental Floss History of the World and Mental Floss History of the United States. Those two may be exactly what you're looking for. Also, check out Sarah Vowell. Assasination Vacation is great. Bill Bryson's work is excellent. A Short History of Nearly Everything is mind-blowing and I've heard great things about At Home which is next on my reading list. :)

Apparently my job today is to pimp books I've read:

About a quarter of Assassination Vacation is about Charles Guiteau. The rest is about Lincoln and McKinley's assassinations.

"Assassination Vacation" by Sarah Vowell is essentially about Robert Lincoln's adjacency to the Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley assassinations.

Well worth the read, and the audiobook has readings by Jon Stewart, Stephen King, and Conan O'Brien as various historical figures.
