Lincoln's Ladies: The Women in the Life of the Sixteenth President by H. Donald Winkler

The author devoted a whole chapter to Ann Rutledge's (and the author's) ancestry so I should have known he was anti-Mary Todd. Glorification of Ann Rutledge is always directly proportional to dislike of Mary Todd Lincoln among Lincoln biographers

The Women In Lincoln's Life by H. Donald Winkler

learned quite a bit reading thise.g., "a marriage of mutual abuse"
it appears he never really.. recovered from Ann.
of course, lots of speculation gleaned from the hundreds of books written about Lincoln
