Madness of Mary Lincoln

[RJNorton]

I think the Clinton book holds up pretty well.

I have said this before, but I find the most notable sentence in the book to be on p. 314 where Clinton writes, "Abraham Lincoln himself was carrying a pistol on the night he died." To me this is notable because no other book I know of says Lincoln was armed at Ford's Theatre. No weapon was ever reported as being found among his effects at the theater. If one was found it was never publicly reported.
