Mrs. Lincoln: A Life

Abraham Lincoln is the most revered president in American history, but the woman at the center of his life - his wife, Mary - has remained a historical enigma. One of the most tragic and mysterious of nineteenth-century figures, Mary Lincoln and her story symbolize the pain and loss of Civil War America. Authoritative and utterly engrossing, Mrs. Lincoln is the long-awaited portrait of the woman who so richly contributed to Lincoln's life and legacy.
