First Ladies: Influence and Image

[antiquefinder]

Was anyone else underwhelmed at this program?

There are a number of historians that would have been much better and had more knowledge of the subject.

I don't know how you can have an "expert" on Mary who has never read Herndon?!

Mike B.- I'm so glad youv'e pointed this out! I watched the whole program and thought the same thing. How did that lady end up on the show as an expert? I would have expected Jason Emerson who wrote a book on Mary Todd Lincoln or someone in his realm??!! I really thought I would have learned some new things about Mary, but I didn't. I learned more about Mary from this forum. I think the guy(I forgot his name) was very knowledgable, but that lady was pathetic. I was very disappointed in this show. I wonder what everyone else thought who saw it?
