Summary
"Reporter James R. Gilmore first interviewed President Abraham Lincoln the day after the Civil War erupted in April 1861 and, over the course of the war, came to know the president intimately. Gathered here are Gilmore's firsthand accounts of his meetings with Lincoln, where the president openly discussed military and political strategy, including the response to the Southern attack on Fort Sumter and the Emancipation Proclamation. Gilmore also writes about his encounters with influential newspaperman Horace Greeley, his two weeks at the front with Union general William Rosecrans, and behind-enemy-lines interview with Confederate president Jefferson Davis in 1864."
