Â
Beautiful, intelligent, regal, and entrancing, young Kate Chase Sprague stepped into the role of establishing her thrice-widowed father, Salmon P. Chase, in Washington society as a Lincoln cabinet member and as a future presidential candidate. For her efforts, The Washington StarÂ declared her â€œthe most brilliant woman of her day. None outshone her.â€
None, that is, but Mary Todd Lincoln.
