The editors were Lincoln's private secretary and assistant secretary, and also served in various other governmental roles, Hay going on to become Secretary of State under McKinley and Roosevelt. Nicolay and Hay are perhaps best known for their ten-volume biographical history of Lincoln's administration, originally published serially in The Century Magazine beginning in 1886 -- it remains one of the more exhaustive and personal accounts of the life of the 16th President of the United States, and is notable for the inclusion of facsimiles of original drafts of important documents, most importantly the Emancipation Proclamation. This set includes facsimiles of original correspondence and documents, reproductions of contemporary photographs and engravings, etc. Don't forget to check out other great deals in our eBay Store!!
