reviewed House of Abraham: Lincoln and the Todds, a Family Divided by War on August 12, 2012 House of Abraham: Lincoln and the Todds, a Family Divided by War
A carefully researched, fascinating take on the dichotomy existing within the Lincoln Whitehouse with the Northern-born Abraham Lincoln on the one hand, and the Southern roots and family of Mary Todd Lincoln on the other. Berry's exploration of the dynamics of the relationships and their probable effect on Lincoln's approach to both the Civil War and its aftermath is most thought-provoking.
Far from taking a dull, scholarly, textbook approach, Berry keeps it light and very much humanizes the participants with anecdotes and humor.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for a different squint at Lincoln's Civil War Whitehouse.
