A Man for the Ages Chapter XXIII Continued
In Springfield Miss Mary Todd, daughter of a Kentucky banker, arrives to visit Mrs. Edwards and is regarded as a potential match for Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln, guided by Speed, admires her refinement yet fears their fundamental disagreements over slavery and state rights. Mary’s influence lures Lincoln toward marriage, but his conscience unsettles him until a kiss seals their engagement. Harry Brimstead’s health and debts set a broader scene of hope and change as Samson’s store expands.
