When George Eastman decided to make photography his hobby, "simple" was hardly the word to describe the pastime.

Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln are one of the most memorable and, in some ways, controversial couples in American history. Mary Todd, though, has been judged more harshly. Though pitied as the wife of a slain president, she has also been criticized as a nagging wife, an extravagant first lady, and even, at the end of her life, a crazy widow.

They were both imperfect human beings challenged by extraordinary circumstances: the death of children, the disintegration of their country, and the threat of ...
