Description
Behind the Scenes offers a unique perspective on one of America's most tumultuous periods. Elizabeth Keckley's memoir reveals the personal struggles and political intrigue surrounding the Lincoln couple, providing an unprecedented glimpse into their lives during and after the Civil War. Born into slavery, Keckley's experiences were marked by hardship and trauma. Yet, she found solace in her skills as a seamstress and eventually gained her freedom. Her journey took her to the North, where she established a successful career as a dressmaker to influential women in politics. A close friendship with Mary Todd Lincoln was just one of many significant relationships that shaped Keckley's life. This edition of Behind the Scenes features a new cover and professionally typeset manuscript, making it both modern and readable.
