Mary Todd Lincoln: First Lady of Controversy
Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum
Timeless wisdom states that there is a great woman behind every man and Mary Todd Lincoln was no exception. Start the journey in Kentucky with a young Mary Todd and her family dealing with the loss of her mother and her rejection by her step-mother. Then learn about Mary’s troubled courtship and eventual marriage to the young lawyer Abraham Lincoln. Continue on her path as Mary assumes her new role as wife and mother, taking charge of running the household and raising a family. As First Lady, Mary undertakes a major renovation of the White House that had been left in neglect. The tragedy of war, the loss of her son Willie and the assassination of President Lincoln all left emotional scars that never healed. Robert Todd Lincoln, convinced that his mother was insane, had her committed for a brief time in a private sanitarium. Mary’s efforts to be released and her subsequent travels in Europe are all revealed in Mary Todd Lincoln: First Lady of Controversy.
