The Mary Lincoln Enigma

[Laurie Verge]

Surratt House just received a sample copy of a new book by that title, edited by Frank J. Williams and Michael Burkhimer with an epilogue by Catherine Clinton. It is a compilation of essays that attempt to define Mary Todd Lincoln. I quickly skimmed it, and it looks wonderful. I believe that we will be selling it at Surratt House.

Contributors include our own Donna McCreary, Jason Emerson, and Brian Dirck, Stephen Berry, James S. Brust, M.D., Mr. Burkhimer and Mr. Williams, Catherine Clinton, Richard Etulain, Harold Holzer, Richard Lawrence Miller, Wayne Temple, Douglas Wilson, and Kenneth J. Winkle.
