Something I've Wondered About....

[LincolnToddFan]

Hi Linda,of course you are entirely right about Mary Surratt. Thanks for pointing it out.

You come up with the most fascinating tidbits of info...I read "Indispensable Man" a couple of years ago and had all but forgotten that section you quoted. What struck me about the Seward family was how intelligent and close they were, and how devoted all the children were to "Father". Mrs. Seward was a remarkable woman in her own right...brilliant as her husband in some ways. They had an unusual marital relationship, but they seemed very close all the same.

Thanks again!
