Catherine Clinton takes the Ford’s Theatre stage on Tuesday, April 6, for a discussion of her book Mrs. Lincoln: A Life. An intimate portrait of the remarkable life of Mary Todd Lincoln, Clinton’s book thoughtfully addresses the misfortunes of Mary Lincoln: the horror of the American Civil War, the deaths of three children, her husband’s tragic assassination and the persistent media scrutiny that contributed to her mental decline.
