Lincoln by Friend and Foe  (English, Paperback, Brooks Noah Professor)

1922. The paper selected for this volume was written for Harper's Magazine in 1865, while the facts were fresh in the author's mind. It contains a formal life of Lincoln. Noah Brooks met Abraham Lincoln in the Fifties and he had a better right than most men to claim that he knew Lincoln. Brooks was one of the few men about the President who never asked anything for himself, and Lincoln rewarded him by giving the best gift he had to offer - his friendship.
