My Interview with Mary Todd Lincoln

This is the fourth book in the Writer Don series and his interviews with those who have passed on.
This book is a fictionalized account of my interview with Mary Todd Lincoln; her family, before being married to Abraham, her years in the white house and after.
The knowledge she found out, about who really murdered her husband; the sixtieth President of these United States and why.
I have used both actual and fictionalized information to write this book.
From rumors that Mary Todd Lincoln was sympathetic to the southern cause, to her bouts with mental depression, to her difficulty negotiating White House social responsibilities.
You may find out things about Mary Todd Lincoln and the President that you never knew. I know I did, such as Mary’s four brothers fought for the southern cause, two dying in major battles of the Civil War; Samuel at Shiloh and Alexander at Baton Rouge and that Mary never publicly mourned for her dead brothers.
That President Lincoln’s other brother-in- law, Benjamin Hardin Helm, who graduated from West Point, and served in the United States Army, up until the war, became a Confederate general, who died at the battle of Chickamauga, which greatly saddened the president, and the events surrounding Lincoln’s assassination and the cover up.
After the assassination of her beloved husband, Abraham, which Mary called a murder, Mary Todd Lincoln traveled to Europe. When she returned to America, in 1871, the death of her son, Tad, was too much for her to bear and, three years later, her only son, Robert, would have her committed to a mental institution in Batavia, Illinois, gaining her own freedom four months later.
With facts, rumors and my imagination, I have written my interview with Mary Todd Lincoln.
