John Nicolay and John Hay lived in the White House across the hall from the president's office and, together with William Stoddard, spent more time with Lincoln than anyone else outside his immediate family. <em>Lincoln's Men</em> is a fascinating, intimate, and moving portrait of life in the Civil War White House and of the beleaguered president's extraordinary relationship with the indispensable trio he used as a sounding board--the best and the brightest of their day who had a place near the center of Washington's grandest galas and a front-row seat on the drama of war. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Captures the lives of Lincoln's secretaries"--<em>BookPage</em><br><br>"Lincoln, like most presidents, worked long hours.
