A Short Life of Abraham Lincoln
John George Nicolay
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
John G. Nicolay was Abraham Lincoln’s private White House secretary. With assistant secretary, John Hay, he wrote the two volume definitive biography of Lincoln, "Abraham Lincoln, a Biography." Although this is a condensation by Nicolay of that biography, it is still a sizable work and a fairly thorough treatment of the life of the 16th president of the United States.

Reviews
Good Book, mixed reader/audio quality
Jack
I listen while driving and found some of the readers hard to hear. The audio quality could definitely be improved but I still enjoyed the content.
Bob
excellent, original research. We studied this book in historiography at college. Nicolay was one of Lincoln's private secretaries.
Robert Farrell
aA book written by a contemporary of Lincoln. Quite good and worth the time.
