Love stories never get old. President Abraham Lincoln often tells the story of how John and Mary Todd Lincoln met before he even leaves Washington, DC, when his wife cooks him breakfast in bed on Independence Day. Eleanor Marlin Atkinson traces the rocky road from Oneida to Washington C,C and back again, covering everything from the peculiar character John Hampden Randall to the memorable dinner with his brother-in-law Robert Todd Lincoln. Showcasing foreboding Lincoln's big ideas, bitterness, wide-ranging family tragedy, marital trials and lack of "grass roots support" for repealing slavery Acts frank exposition on the assassination provides an enduring overview of married life under Presidency. Besides, the remarkably candid portraits of family life remain as the most revealing part of the book. "John was an independent, private man...seduced by Mary at a party. When they got married, she had to learn to live as herself -- not just a sister or friend; but because the world would expect something more formal. She was not educated in social finesse..." "Sunday school," John told his grandson Allen, "was the dark continent of hypocrisy." How Eleanor Atkinson had Lincoln tell the story is revelatory: "I recounted it like a casual rendezvous or a short acquaintance that led to marriage, nothing real in it, just arbitrary happenstance." This portrayal and others conversational Lincolns' wife had recorded upon her return home in 1863 reveal so many aspects of married love and an entwined lives that Mrs Lincoln even contemplated marriage legislation, arguing foremost for wedding rights for upper-class couples. Lincoln, in Atkinson’s telling, is a private, nocturnal man, while his public image has long been tailored to fit folk perceptions of a successful war President and political opportunist.
