RE: I Mary
Quote:I have read a couple of books about Mary Lincoln and what makes this one stand out is Mrs Randall's approach to her subject. It's not a collection of details about Mary, it is written as though Mrs Randall knew Mary and is telling the story of her life, as her close friend.

Gene,

Carl Sandburg told Ruth Randall that she needed to write the book "like a woman" meaning trying to understand Mary from the woman's perspective. That's one of the few Randall books I haven't read, and I doubt I will anything soon, but I'll have to give it a looksee sometime.

Best
Rob
Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.

I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent.
