RE: Mary's Carriage Accident
According to Benjamin Thomas in "Abraham Lincoln", chapter 19, Profile of a President, the accident occurred in the summer of 1863, when she was thrown from a carriage and stuck her head on a stone.
Other comments regarding the accident are in thread "Mary's Reputation" post 59-?. Based upon several comments in that thread, and elsewhere, IMO the accident only added to her physical and mental health problems for the rest of her life. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
