Did Lincoln Regret Marrying Mary?

[Mike B.]

Mike, you make some interesting and good points, but...I think Eva makes some excellent points regarding the influence and importance Mary had in Abraham's political life.

Perhaps Mary was angry enough to throw something at Abraham, but didn't really want it to hit him or cause an injury?

Gene,
Thanks.
If you have a copy of the book I co-edited, "Mary Lincoln Enigma" I write a chapter explaining why I think that political influence on his career is largely mythical or to be more precise very minimal.
