Nicolay, who had known Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois, served as chief White House secretary from 1861 to 1865. Trained as a journalist, Nicolay had hoped to write a campaign biography of Lincoln in 1860, a desire that was thwarted when an obscure young writer named William Dean Howells got the job. Years later, however, Nicolay fulfilled his ambition; with John Hay, he spent the years from 1872 to 1890 writing a monumental ten-volume biography of Lincoln.In preparation for this task, Nicolay interviewed men who had known Lincoln both during his years in Springfie973.7/092Nicolay John G(John George),1832-1901.1631787Burlingame Michael1941-1121565Abraham Lincoln Association (Springfield, Ill.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814619003321An oral history of Abraham Lincoln3970580UNINA
