Lincoln's Boys: John Hay, John Nicolay, and the War for Lincoln’s Image

An intimate look into Lincolnâ€™s White House and the aftermath of his death, via the lives of his two closest aides

In this timely look into Abraham Lincolnâ€™s White House, and the aftermath of his death, noted historian and political advisor Joshua Zeitz presents a fresh perspective on the sixteenth U.S. presidentâ€”as seen through the eyes of Lincolnâ€™s two closest aides and confidants, John Hay and John Nicolay. Lincolnâ€™s official secretaries, Hay and Nicolay enjoyed more access, witnessed more history, and knew Lincoln better than anyone outside of the presidentâ€™s immediate family. They were the gatekeepers of Lincolnâ€™s legacy. Drawing on letters, diaries, and memoirs, Lincolnâ€™s Boys is part political drama and part coming-of-age taleâ€”a fascinating story of friendship, politics, war, and the contest over history and remembrance.
