Description

Abraham Lincoln was famously awkward around single women. Before Mary Todd, he was engaged to another woman, but his fiancee called off the marriage. His marriage to Mary was troubled. Meanwhile, throughout his adult life, he enjoyed close relationships with a number of men -- including, disclosed here for the first time, an affair with an army captain when Mrs. Lincoln was away. This extensive study by the late C.A. Tripp, a highly regarded sex researcher, examines not only Lincoln’s sexuality, but aims to make sense of the whole man. It includes an introduction by Jean Baker, biographer of Mary Todd Lincoln, and an afterword containing reactions by two Lincoln scholars and one clinical psychologist. Illustrations.
