Nicolay & Hay: We Are Lincoln Men
This lecture will explain the dedication of Lincoln's young private secretaries, John Nicolay and John Hay, to preserve the memory of Lincoln after his assassination. It will describe how these two men were able, after many years and obstacles, to write the definitive biography of their beloved boss thereby setting the record straight as to the cause of the Civil War. We will also describe the long history of what happened to Lincoln's numerous Presidential papers after his death along with the role his son, Robert Todd Lincoln, played in preserving his father's memory. Speaker: Lynn Brand
