Among other “reminiscences” note “the gracious and revealing light which he has portrayed Mary Todd Lincoln, so long misunderstood, so often misrepresented . . .

Also, “ . . . no page in this book of memories is more unforgettable than . . . a quiet talk between [the writer’s] mother and Lincoln regarding religion during the campaign of 1847.”
