"This book offers new information about the lives of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln and their sons from 1850 when Abe was a country lawyer up to 1860 when he was elected president of the United States and the Lincolns moved to Washington. The Lincoln boys were lovable and loved, but often were very mischievous, to the delight of their father and tolerance of their mother. Their Springfield lives is based on the recollections of a black woman, Mariah Vance, wife of a runaway slave, who recalled her ten years as laundress and housekeeper to Abe and Mary in their home in Springfield during those ten years. None of her controversial recollections from a previous book, Lincoln's Unknown Private Life, which some Lincoln scholars said they did not believe, are included in this book." -- cover.
