About this book
Family ancestry and frontier schooling provide the starting point for John G. Nicolay's account of Abraham Lincoln. Published in 1902, the biography follows his work and reading, entry into law, Illinois elections and rise to the presidency. Chapter headings trace debates over slavery, political campaigns and the responsibilities of governing during the Civil War. Personal subjects, including marriage and family loss, appear alongside the public record.
Correspondence brings the problems of wartime leadership into focus. In the middle excerpt, Lincoln responds to General McClellan's requests for more troops, explains why immediate reinforcements are impossible and visits the army to judge its situation. Nicolay also criticizes the general's delays in withdrawing his forces. Speeches, letters, cabinet decisions and changes of command give readers material for considering how the president handled competing demands. The account offers a detailed view of Lincoln through both the events of his life and his decisions in office.
