“A miracle; an exquisite story exquisitely told . . . If you love Jane Austen, or Hamilton, or fiction—of any era—that transports and transforms in equal measure, look no further.” —A.J. Finn, bestselling author of The Woman in the Window From the prizewinning author of Mr. Timothy and The Pale Blue Eye comes Courting Mr. Lincoln, the page-turning and surprising story of a young Abraham Lincoln and the two people who loved him best: a young, marriageable Mary Todd and Lincoln’s best friend, Joshua Speed. When sparky and independent Mary Todd arrives in Springfield, Illinois, in the 1840s to live with her sister, who is determined to find Mary a husband, she is astonished to find herself drawn to an awkward, melancholic lawyer with a gift for oratory. The two share ambition, an obsession with politics—and a need to be suitably married off. Always at Lincoln’s side, however, is the charming Joshua Speed, a shopkeeper who became his mentor in society, loyal friend, roommate—and possible lover. Told in alternating chapters from the points of view of Todd and Speed, this witty, psychologically astute, and brilliantly plotted novel follows the threesome during Todd and Lincoln’s tumultuous courtship, with all the suspense and delight of the best Jane Austen novels. Historians have long speculated that Lincoln and Speed had a romantic relationship, and here Bayard explores that forbidden possibility with deep empathy. Rich with both period detail and contemporary insight, Courting Mr. Lincoln offers smart storytelling at the highest level.

Excerpt from A Reporter's Lincoln These recollections of Lincoln were assembled in newspaper goings and comings. They are plain tales told by men and women "who knew Lincoln." In degree of acquaintance they range from a single, perhaps casual, meeting, to years of intimacy. In respect to time, they relate to Lincoln, the clerk at New Salem; to Lincoln, the president; and to Lincoln at stages of his career between the clerkship and the presidency. New Salem, the settlement that was promising when Lincoln went there to begin his manhood life, passed away long ago. When the site was visited by the reporter not a building was left. But living in and about Petersburg, the thrifty little city which succeeded New Salem, were men and women, advanced in years, who remembered "when nobody along the Sangamon could put Abe Lincoln on his back." They told, from personal observation, how Lincoln took the death of Ann Rutledge. They described the wrestling match between Lincoln and Jack Armstrong, the neighborhood champion. They heard Lincoln read his argument about the Bible and saw his employer take the paper from him and burn it. They recalled how Lincoln saved Duff Armstrong with an almanac, in a murder trial, and Duff Armstrong, in the flesh, reformed and a church member, was there to stoutly assert that the almanac was not faked. After Lincoln the wrestler and clerk, Lincoln the surveyor and legislator, came Lincoln the lawyer and Lincoln the politician. Lincoln rode the eighth circuit. Half a century afterwards his trail was followed by his lawsuits, his stories, his homely sayings. At the court towns on the circuit, people told of Lincoln from personal recollections. Of Lincoln sitting on the log with the editors and framing the first platform of the Republican movement in Illinois; of Lincoln going fishing with a carryall full of boys; of Lincoln dropping from the statehouse window in Vandalia to break a quorum, - of such were the recollections. The Bloomington speech was "lost," but perhaps more vivid than the forgotten words were the impressions which listeners received and which they described. Robert R. Hitt, many years Member of Congress from the Freeport, III., district, took the speeches of the Douglas-Lineoln joint debate for the Chicago Tribune.
