Nicolay,
John George
1832–1901, biographer of Lincoln, b. Bavaria. In 1837 he
was brought to the United States, and his family settled
in Pike county, Ill. He worked on the Pittsfield, Ill., Free
Press and was its editor and owner from 1854 to 1856.
In 1860 he and his close friend, John Hay, became private
secretaries to Abraham Lincoln and continued as such
during his presidency. In 1890 Nicolay and Hay brought out
their Abraham Lincoln: a History (10 vol.), which
had been planned since 1861. It is the authorized
biography, and though biased by hero worship and a
sometimes excessive respect for conventions, it is a basic
historical work for study of the period. Hay and Nicolay
also edited Lincoln’s complete works.
See biography by his daughter, Helen
Nicolay (1949).
