From the legendary Lincoln scholar Wayne C. Temple comes the
long-awaited full-length biography of Noah Brooks, the influential
Illinois journalist who championed Abraham Lincoln in Illinois
state politics and became his almost daily companion at the White
House. 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 would make Brooks's writings a much-quoted source
for historians and biographers of Lincoln. A carefully researched
and well-documented scholarly resource, Lincoln's Confidant is the
story of an extraordinary friendship by one of the luminaries of
Lincoln scholarship.
