A Short Life of Abraham Lincoln

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,556 Sterne; 27 Bewertungen)

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.

Good Book, mixed reader/audio quality

(4 Sterne)

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.

(5 Sterne)

excellent, original research. We studied this book in historiography at college. Nicolay was one of Lincoln's private secretaries.

(2,5 Sterne)

aA book written by a contemporary of Lincoln. Quite good and worth the time.
