Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[LincolnToddFan]

I see, hmmm...interesting that David Donald takes that view. Even most pro-MTL historians feel that the Lincoln marriage suffered in it's final phase due to the pressures of life in the White House and Mary's emotional illness increasingly manifesting itself.

According to Daniel Mark Epstein, their unique bond endured until the presidency, then began to slowly unravel.

I really must read the Donald book....thanks!
