What is Robert Todd Lincoln?
[[File:Robt-T-Lincoln-ca-1865.jpeg|thumb|upright|Lincoln c. 1865]] '''Robert Todd Lincoln''' (August 1, 1843 – July 26, 1926) was an [[United States|American]] [[lawyer]] and [[Secretary]] of [[War]]. He was the first son of [[U.S. President|President]] [[Abraham Lincoln]] and his wife, [[Mary Todd Lincoln]]. Born in [[Springfield, Illinois]], [[United States]], he was the only one of Lincoln's four sons to live to be an [[adult]]. He was a bright lawyer, and mostly served [[railroad]] interests. He was (1897–1911) president of the Pullman Company. He was quiet and shy. Because of this, he never tried to be a president, but he was minister to [[Great Britain]] (1889–93). Most of his last 20 years were spent at Hildene, his estate near [[Manchester, Vermont]]. Lincoln did not have a very close relationship with his father. This was partly because Abraham Lincoln often spent months away from home. Robert would later say his clearest memory of his father was when he was packing for a trip to [[Illinois]].<ref>{{cite book |last= Donald |first= David Herbert |title= ''Lincoln''|url= https://archive.org/details/lincoln00davi |page=[https://archive.org/details/lincoln00davi/page/159 159] |publisher= New York : Touchstone|year= 1995 |isbn= 068482535X }}</ref> Abraham Lincoln was proud of Robert.
