Lincoln's Lovemaking and a Kentucky Engagement
A 1839 social crossfire in Illinois tied Abraham Lincoln to Miss Maury Todd of Kentucky. Speed, a Kentuckian friend, introduced Lincoln to the Edwards household where Todd reportedly captivated him. Stephen A. Douglas pursued Todd, triggering a flirtation that cooled Lincoln’s ardor and led to a broken, then renewed and reconciled engagement.
