Book Description
“This engaging book traces three generations of Abraham Lincoln’s descendants in the century following his assassination . . . notable for its liveliness” (Publishers Weekly). Most books about Abraham Lincoln end with his assassination. But that historic event is where this book begins. The Last Lincolns tells the largely unknown tale of the Lincoln family’s fall from grace in the years and generations following the president’s murder. Far from coming together in mourning, the Lincolns became deeply divided over the widowed Mary’s mental condition. In 1875, the eldest son Robert had her committed to an insane asylum. In each succeeding generation, the Lincolns’ misfortunes multiplied, as acrimony, alcohol abuse, and squandered fortunes led to the family’s downfall. Charles Lachman traces the story to the last generation: great-grandson Bob Lincoln Beckwith, his estranged wife, Annemarie, and her son, Timothy Lincoln Beckwith. Though Timothy bears the Lincoln name, his own father believes he was the product of adultery. There’s even evidence—uncovered by Lachman—that the notorious outlaw D.B. Cooper may have orchestrated a scheme to obtain the Lincoln fortune.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Lincoln Family: An Account of the Descendants of Samuel Lincoln of Hingham Massachusetts, 1637-1920 The publication in 1893 of a history of Hingham with a full and fairly accurate genealogy of all Hingham residents up to 1889, and the completion and publication of the Waldo Genealogy in 1902, which had engaged the writer's attention for several years, led him to resume his studies of the Lincoln families, and the present volume is the result. The Hingham genealogies provided a firm foundation and with few exceptions proved to be free from error, but every statement and date therein given has been verified or corrected by original records. There were in the little town of Hingham previous to 1640 eight settlers bearing the surname Lincoln, viz.: Daniel the husbandman and his brothers Samuel the weaver and Thomas the weaver; Daniel the sergeant; Stephen and his brother Thomas the husbandman; Thomas the miller and Thomas the cooper. All of these are thought to have come from county Norfolk, England, but so far as has been learned the several families were not interrelated. Daniel the husbandman and Thomas the weaver left no families, the former dying unmarried; but the other six did leave families, and as most of these remained in Hingham or Cohasset, formerly a part of Hingham, for several generations the task of assigning each family to its proper ances tor was no easy one, but it was admirably done by the compilers of the History of Hingham. The history of the family of Samuel Lincoln possesses greater interest for the general American public than that of most fami lies, because it numbers among its members that distinguished and beloved commoner, the late President Abraham Lincoln.

Book Description
An enlightening narrative exploring an oft-overlooked aspect of the sixteenth president's life, An American Marriage reveals the tragic story of Abraham Lincoln’s marriage to Mary Todd. Abraham Lincoln was apparently one of those men who regarded “connubial bliss” as an untenable fantasy. During the Civil War, he pardoned a Union soldier who had deserted the army to return home to wed his sweetheart. As the president signed a document sparing the soldier's life, Lincoln said: “I want to punish the young man—probably in less than a year he will wish I had withheld the pardon.” Based on thirty years of research, An American Marriage describes and analyzes why Lincoln had good reason to regret his marriage to Mary Todd. This revealing narrative shows that, as First Lady, Mary Lincoln accepted bribes and kickbacks, sold permits and pardons, engaged in extortion, and peddled influence. The reader comes to learn that Lincoln wed Mary Todd because, in all likelihood, she seduced him and then insisted that he protect her honor. Perhaps surprisingly, the 5’2” Mrs. Lincoln often physically abused her 6’4” husband, as well as her children and servants; she humiliated her husband in public; she caused him, as president, to fear that she would disgrace him publicly. Unlike her husband, she was not profoundly opposed to slavery and hardly qualifies as the “ardent abolitionist” that some historians have portrayed. While she providid a useful stimulus to his ambition, she often “crushed his spirit,” as his law partner put it. In the end, Lincoln may not have had as successful a presidency as he did—where he showed a preternatural ability to deal with difficult people—if he had not had so much practice at home.
