Details

He borrowed nearly every book he read and claimed that all his "schooling did not amount to one year." She attended years of boarding school, and her "family's library was filled with leather-bound books by Shakespeare, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Plato." Though Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln's backgrounds differed considerably, both were intellectuals who shared interests in literature and politics, as well as a great love for each other. Photographs, letters, newspaper articles, and many other primary source materials illuminate this intimate biography of the Lincolns. Introduction. Time line. Resource lists. Research notes.
