Description

Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of President Abraham Lincoln, became a figure of controversy during her time in the White House and has remained so until the present day. A well-educated woman from a prominent Kentucky family, she was an unlikely partner for Lincoln, who had come from humble frontier roots. During Lincoln's time as president, his wife was criticized for spending too much money on White House furnishings and on her own clothing. The death of a son in early 1862 seemed to bring her to the point of madness. Her interest in spiritualism intensified, and she claimed to see ghosts wandering the halls of the executive mansion. Lincoln's assassination in 1865 accelerated what was perceived as her mental decline. Her oldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln, the only Lincoln child to live to adulthood, had her placed in an asylum in the mid-1870s. She was later found mentally competent, but she lived out the rest of her life in poor health.
