Synopsis
May 1875: Mary Todd Lincoln Is Addicted To Opiates And Tried In A Chicago Court On Charges Of Insanity. Entered Into Evidence Is Ms. Lincoln’s Claim That Every Night A Savage Indian Enters Her Bedroom And Slashes Her Face And Scalp. She Is Swiftly Committed To Bellevue Place Sanitarium. Her Hauntings May Be A Reminder That In 1862, President Lincoln Ordered The Hanging Of Thirty-eight Dakotas In The Largest Mass Execution In United States History. No One Has Ever Linked The Two Events—until Now. Savage Conversations Is A Daring Account Of A Former First Lady And The Ghosts That Tormented Her For The Contradictions And Crimes On Which This Nation Is Founded--back Cover. Leanne Howe.
