This biography was written by Lincoln's personal secretaries John Hay and John Nicolay.  It is considered one of the best and most comprehensive biographies of the President.  "Prepared under the scrutiny of Robert Lincoln, the work is caustic in treating Lincoln's opponents; yet it stands as an impressive monument, not only because of the vastness of the undertaking, but also because of its enduring historical significance."
