Mary Todd Lincoln: Preserve the Union
With Jessica Michna - Living Historian
Mary recalls her early years and education in Lexington, Kentucky. She tells of her move to Springfield, Illinois, where she would meet and marry the young prairie lawyer. Mary introduces the audience to life in Washington, regaling her listeners with stories about her boys, including her biggest boy, Mr. Lincoln. In this time of national strife, the Lincolns would suffer personal tragedies, concluding on that fateful day in April of 1865.
Jessica Michna uses her considerable skills to recreate notable women of history. She has been called “a National Treasure” and has received the Presidential Service Center's Distinguished Service Award.
