- Synopsis
- This little book offers two glimpses of President Lincoln's life as a family man. The first section describes the Lincolns' life in the White House during the war whilst the second represents a collection of all the known letters exchanged by Abraham and Mary Lincoln and their children. Though most of the vast literature about Abraham Lincoln deals with his public life it is important to remember that Lincoln, during these critical events, also led a private life, defined by his intimate relationship with his wife and by his devotion to their children. Thus, by bringing these letters together, this book seeks to offer a portrait of Mrs. Lincoln unmarred by gossip and Abraham Lincoln as a devoted, if often desperately busy and distracted, family man.
