  • Summary

  • Mary Todd Lincoln is one of the most interesting characters in the Civil War. She turbocharged Abraham Lincoln's ambition, especially when his political career seemed at a low ebb. Yet her strong personality could rub people the wrong way. To better understand her, I interviewed one of the nation's premier experts on Abraham Lincoln, Michael Burlingame. He is the author of many books, including "An American Marriage: The Untold Story of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd." This book is diligently researched and thus sorts fact from rumor. Burlingame is a history professor at the University of Illinois - Springfield.
