Summary

Baker & Taylor
A portrait of the sixteenth president as viewed by his three young private secretaries describes the personal factors that affected their influence on Lincoln's career, from Nicolay's long-distance engagement to a childhood sweetheart, to Hay's romance with a famous married actress, to Stoddard's obsession with gambling in the gold market. 30,000 first printing.
HARPERCOLL
&;An intimate portrait of Lincoln, so well-drawn that he seems to come alive on the page.&;
&;Charleston Post & Courier
 
Lincoln&;s Men by Daniel Mark Epstein offers a fascinating close-up view of the Abraham Lincoln White House through the eyes of Lincoln&;s three personal secretaries: John Nicolay, William Stoddard, and John Hay. Like Doris Kearns Goodwin&;s monumental New York Times bestseller, Team of Rivals, Epstein&;s Lincoln&;s Men sheds a new light on the 16^th U.S. president&;his brilliance and vision in a time of national turmoil and Civil War&;by focusing on his relationships with the men who worked closely by his side. USA Today writes, &;This is not your typical work of history. Epstein, a poet, employs a dreamy, novelistic tone in describing these young men and their tormented boss.&;
