About This Book
His [Nicolay's] story runs from Governor Gist's circular letter to Southern governors under date of October 5th, 1860, to the Battle of Bull Run, July 21st 1861. It is brilliant, well-proportioned, full of interest; written with intense convictions of right, an impatient contempt of opposite opinions, and a disposition not to mince words, but unhesitatingly to call treason treason, and civil war conspiracy...To him it was all a miserable conspiracy of office-holders, dragging the people after them by political jugglery at conventions..." -- The Century, vol. 23, issue 4 (Feb 1882).
