Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography Customer Review: Biography of Mary Todd Lincoln
This book is a complete biography of Mary Todd Lincoln starting out with her grandparents which surprised me. This book is not an overview of Mary’s life it is very detailed. I think it is a fair account of her life and there are some things I never would have guessed. I must admit I haven’t finished the book as yet it is not one of those books you finish off in one afternoon, but I have read enough of it to know that a 4 star review is accurate.
Customer Review: Three Stars
Mary Todd Lincoln had a rough life. From the early death of her mother to the treatment she recieved from her stepmother, to her husband’s assissination and was committed to an asylum by her own son. Reading the biography it was hard not to feel sorry for her. I knew naturally (as everyone) about her husband’s assissination but I was surprised about how hard the rest of her life was. Her son Robert committed and she had to fight to get out of the asylum. Her early years Mary spent having to put up with a stepmother who wanted her husband’s first set of children completely forgotten. Poor girl.
