MARY LINCOLN Biography of a Marriage 1953 HB w/ DJ | |
LINCOLN of the most controversial women in American history, and the never-before-told, never-to-be- forgotten story of her life with Abraham Lincoln. "
" Mary Todd Lincoln is probably the most maligned of famous women in our nation's history. " People said Lincoln really loved Ann Rutledge, that his marriage was a cross he had to bear, that he had tried to avoid it, that his wife hurt him politically though she drove him to the Presidency, that she embarrassed him financially as well as socially and inflicted on him the agony of adjustment to her psychopathic personality. " Through the eyes of the people who knew the Lincolns, through the long-lost telegrams and letters they sent each other, this is the story of their day-to-day family life together. " Now Mary must entertain not her Springfield friends, but the official friends and opponents of the Administration. Contents include: " Foreword 1. Young Mary is Young Springfield 2.
