DESCRIPTION:
"Dark Reflections" according to Auburn Annie. Carl Sandberg writes so sensitively. This book is full of personal anecdotes that give a lively sense of the relationship between Abraham and Mary. By the end of the book the darkness was overpowering and uncomfortable. One would think 'poor Mary and even poorer Abe' but then again one marvels at the internal strength of the man who could become such an icon whil. "An enjoyable read" according to Richard Lawrence Miller, Lincoln author. Some purists criticize Sandburg, but he tells a good story and has something to back him up even if his standards are looser than those used by some historians. This book's supplementary collection of correspondence from acquaintances of young Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln is valuable. Noted scholar Paul Angle collaborated with Sandburg on this volume.. "It is interesting read about Mary lincoln." according to Evelyn Hernandez. I order this book because I made a biography of Mary lincoln, in my world history class.
A haunting portrait of an enigmatic life, written with a style and sensitivity that are both sympathetic and unflinching.. The biography of Americaís most tragic First Lady by one of Americaís most distinguished biographers and poets
