Synopsis

Mary Lincoln is the most mysterious person ever to inhabit the White House. Undeniably smart, savvy, and cultured, her mis-steps as First Lady and widow turned both her public and private lives into disasters, raising questions about her judgment and even her sanity. Now, at long last, the mysterious contradictions of her life have been solved... with science. In this scholarly book, renowned Presidential medical historian John Sotos, MD examines the tell-tale clues in Mary Lincoln's life to arrive at a diagnosis -- pernicious anemia -- that explains her insanity, irritability, poor judgment, and early death, while explaining how her personal tragedies intensified the disease. Mary Lincoln's faults were in her metabolism, not in her character. Primarily a reference work, this book is a must-have for anyone with a deep interest in Mary Lincoln or in a tale of how history can be wrong for 150 years.
