"By getting to know Noah Brooks, readers will learn a great deal about Abraham Lincoln, thanks to the careful attention of the devoted scholar, Wayne C. Temple."--Samuel Wheeler, Illinois State Historian

"The complete story of a reporter's interesting life . . . with dutiful attention to detail." --Wall Street Journal
"Lincoln's Confidant is the work of a rigorous scholar. Temple excels at describing the friendship between Lincoln and Brooks." --Annals of Iowa
