Mary Todd Lincoln PORTRAYED BY PAT JORDAN
Pat Jordan’s sensitive interpretation of Mary Todd Lincoln invites new understanding of this complicated and frequently-misunderstood woman. Pat’ Mrs. Lincoln is an intelligent, quick-witted woman in an almost impossible situation. Having married the man of her dreams, a man she knew was destined to become President, Mary Todd Lincoln was deemed a spy by the North and a traitor by the South. With relatives on both sides of the conflict, having lost a dear son, and being married to a man frequently depressed by death and destruction, Mary was under great emotional stress yet she never lost sight of her responsibility as the first lady. With her enduring love and support of her husband, she battled to create a White House that reflected her the President’s stature while she endeavored to nurture her family during the devastating time of a Great Civil War.
