Robert Todd Lincoln

[Karen S. Campbell]

I'm going to enjoy reading Emerson's book on Robert. I have always found Robert Todd Lincoln an enigma. He seems to be so unlike his father and I still have some qualms about his treatment of Mary. It is so sad that Willie died in 1863. I think he was the son most like Lincoln. Tad looked a lot like his father as he got older and he seemed to settle down in his late teens. His early death was just one more tragedy for Mary to cope with.
