I'm aware, "Henry and Clara" is no reliable source, on the other hand the author claims to stick close to research. Mallon "suggests", amongst others, one trip to Europe (Paris) in 1876. Still Pendel refers to Ohio (where "Mrs Lincoln was living"), too. How could that be explaained then?

I'm becoming more convinced that it's Pendel's recall that's the problem. He was born in 1824 so he was 78 when the book was published. Maybe he was just confused.

Eva, Thanks for directing me to earlier discussions on this forum about whether Rathbone actually worked for the State Dept. on assignment in Germany.


Just received this: Thank you for contacting the Ohio Historical Society Research Services Department. We have not been able to find any source that suggests that Mary Todd Lincoln ever visited Poe, Ohio.
