Readers can choose to read either, Mary Todd Lincoln, A Biography by Jean Harvey Baker or The True Mary Todd Lincoln by Betty Boles Ellison. (from Lexington, KY, helped restore Mary Todd Lincoln House). All are welcome, even if you have not finished the book and want to know more about Mary Todd Lincoln.
Mary Todd Lincoln, the Biography: Library Journal states that “In the thriving cottage industry of Lincoln studies Baker’s readable and sympathetic biography is easily the definitive account of the troubled former First Lady. Baker’s principal contribution is in recognizing Mary Todd Lincoln on her own terms.” The True Mary Todd Lincoln: This new biography provides a startlingly different picture of Mary Lincoln, President Abraham Lincoln's wife. Preconceived myths about the former first lady are factually disproved.
