Temple offers the long-awaited first biography of Noah Brooks, the influential Illinois journalist who championed Abraham Lincoln in state politics and became his almost daily companion during the Civil War. Best remembered as one of the president's few true intimates, Brooks was also a nationally recognized man of letters who mingled with the likes of Mark Twain and Bret Harte. Temple draws on archives and papers long thought lost to re-create Brooks's colorful life and relationship with Lincoln. Brooks's closeness to the president made him privy to Lincoln's thoughts on everything from literature to spirituality. Their frank conversations contributed to the wealth of journalism and personal observations that still make Brooks a much-quoted source for biographers, historians, and Lincoln aficionados. A grand history and unparalleled scholarly resource, Lincoln's Confidant is the story of an extraordinary friendship by one of the giants of Lincoln scholarship." -- Amazon.com. 600 10 $a Brooks, Noah, $d 1830-1903 $v Biography. 600 10 $a Lincoln, Abraham, $d 1809-1865 $x Friends and associates. 600 17 $a Brooks, Noah, $d 1830-1903. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00014119 600 17 $a Lincoln, Abraham, $d 1809-1865. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00030184 650 0 $a Journalists $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 1849-1877. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 650 7 $a Authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Journalists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984188 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Wilson, Douglas L. $q (Douglas Lawson), $d 1935- $e editor. 700 1 $a Davis, Rodney O., $e editor. 700 1 $a Burlingame, Michael, $e writer of introduction. 830 0 $a Knox College Lincoln Studies Center series. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502025813.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1612751A550D11E9884C074097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
