From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:
March 6
This was truly a war of brother
against brother as exemplified by the roll call of Mary Todd Lincoln's family
of Lexington [Kentucky was a border state]. Her eldest brother Levi and her
half-sister Margaret Kellogg were for the Union, while her youngest brother
George and her three half-brothers had joined the Confederate Army, and her
three half-sisters were the wives of Confederate officers.
‘You have made us for Yourself, O
Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.'
- Augustine of Hippo
