Behind the Scenes and Lincoln Debts Revealed in Memoir
A long excerpt from Behind the Scenes by Mrs Elizabeth Keckley recounts her time as Mrs Lincoln’s confidante. The memoir covers Mrs Lincoln's debts, wardrobe sales, and influence seeking, with scenes of the White House, the First Lady’s fashion costs, and Lincoln’s personal grief after Willie’s death. It also includes a Civil War era rail line survey and local notices on elections and agricultural markets.
