Book Description
John Hay's distinguished national service began when he was Lincoln's private secretary and continued until up to his death as Secretary of State for two presidents. This book discusses Hay's own battles with depression and how he believed his condition to be similar to Samuel Johnson's in the 18th century as well as to his chief, Abraham Lincoln.
