Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

Thanks Gene,

Yes it's more than likely that AL was on the rebound after the death of Ann. But he was open to moving on, despite how lukewarm he was about Owens and in fact probably would have married her if Owens herself had not ended things.

I agree with everything you posted about Mary Todd. In spite of all the turmoil and difficulty, in some ways she was the making of Abraham Lincoln.

Who else would have given him the time of day in Springfield?? Frances Todd, Matilda Edwards, Sarah Rickard?
