John George Nicolay
(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.

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.
