Mary Todd and Abraham Lincoln married in 1842, and she was at his side 23 years later when he was assassinated. Even before his death, Lincoln's marriage to the daughter of a slaveholding family sparked rumors and controversy; critics questioned Mary's loyalty and whispered about her eccentricity and free-spending ways. Their relationship was marked by long separations before Lincoln became president and tragedy throughout their years together: Only one of their four sons lived to adulthood. Daniel Mark Epstein's The Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage focuses on a White House pairing that still intrigues us after all these years.
