What lovely details you reveal!

We have an image of a stern-face, depressed president and his crazy wife,

whom it married for money. How refreshing to hear these anecdotes!

The backroom brawls and all and squabbles flesh out what has been tired cliches,

I'm no Lincoln scholar, but your reports are more than of passing interest. I share

these with my husband who is a retired Assistant District Attorney and a history buff.

Your bibliography is extensive and admirable. Primary sources included.
