I have always had a soft spot for Mary Lincoln, but most books portray her as a shrew. One of my favorites, however, was Crowns of Thorns and Glory, which compares Mary with Varina Davis. One was vilified; the other was glorified.

Do y'all think Herndon's conflicts with Mary and his subsequent writings are the chief cause of negative history about the First Lady?
