Mrs. Lincoln: A Life

[RJNorton]

Eva, you said that very well. In my opinion it's not the definitive biography of Mary, but it's a good read nevertheless. I have mentioned before that it's the only book I have that says Abraham Lincoln was armed at Ford's Theatre. (Eva - see p. 314 - "Abraham Lincoln himself was carrying a pistol on the night he died.") I hope some day in the near future research on this possibility will be published and the truth be known.
