I've just started reading her "Mary Lincoln Biography of a Marriage", a vey interesting and pleasurable book to read. So far, she portrays a much softer, kinder side of Mary that I hadn't read about before.

Gene,

I read the book about 4 years ago and thought it to be fairly blanaced in its approach to Mary, pulling few punches at times. It is too bad that biographies in those days were not known for using techniques of historiography, e.g., footnotes and endnotes.
