A firsthand account of Lincoln during the Civil War Covers the Emancipation Proclamation, the New York Draft Riots of 1863, and other topics.
 
Provide a glimpse into Civil War journalism, including stories about Horace Greeley and Gilmore's behind-enemy-lines interview of Confederate president Jefferson Davis.
 
Long out of print and previously available only in rare bookshops, this intimate portrait is a valuable source of information about our sixteenth president. Gilmore, a Civil War-era journalist who wrote for the New York Tribune and the Atlantic Monthly, first interviewed Lincoln on the day after the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861 and, over the course of the following years, would come to know the president well.
