I am very interested in John Hay and I was wondering if you could recommend to me the book that you believe is the most accurate and the best accounting of Mr. Hay. Thanks so much for any recommendation that you may have on this subject.

Hi Genna. The only Hay book I have is Lincoln and the Civil War in the Diaries and Letters of John Hay edited by Tyler Dennett. While this book gives an interesting view/insight into the workings of the Lincoln White House, I realize it is not what you are seeking. I do not have the book Linda cited in her post.

Thank you so much. I will look into this one as well as the one that Linda has mentioned.
