An American Marriage: The Untold Story of Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd by Michael Burlingame
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 336 MB
Overview: An enlightening narrative exploring an oft-overlooked aspect of the 16th president’s life, An American Marriage reveals the tragic story of Abraham Lincoln’s marriage to Mary Todd. Based on 30 years of research, An American Marriage describes and analyzes why Lincoln had good reason to regret his marriage to Mary Todd. This revealing narrative shows that, as First Lady, Mary Lincoln accepted bribes and kickbacks, sold permits and pardons, engaged in extortion, and peddled influence. The listener comes to learn that Lincoln wed Mary Todd because, in all likelihood, she seduced him and then insisted that he protect her honor. Perhaps surprisingly, the 5’2″ Mrs. Lincoln often physically abused her 6’4″ husband, as well as her children and servants; she humiliated her husband in public; she caused him, as president, to fear that she would disgrace him publicly.
