This article over Mary Todd Lincoln gives insight to her battle with depression and the many trials and tribulations she faced after the assasination of her husband. It covers her court proceedings in wich her son, Robert Todd Lincoln was trying to have her committed and her fight to keep her sanity. This is very interesting because throughout history she was thought to be a troubled woman who was no influence over herself or anyone else.
