Of all the journalists who sought access to Abraham Lincoln, Noah Brooks was the favourite of the 16th president. A friend from the Illinois prairie campaign, Brooks was a of combination Washington, White House and war correspondent who, in 1895, distilled his reportage for the "Sacremento Union" into a memoir of the Civil War years, "Washington, DC, in Lincoln's Time". Reissued with Herbert Mitgang's editorial commentary, the book offers a firsthand glimpse of the political crisis which engulfed the nation and the personal endeavours of President Lincoln to see it through.
