Lincoln was "one of the most resolutely practical of men," Brooks wrote, who possessed a "genius for splitting the difference" pp. To some, this made Lincoln seem unprincipled; for Brooks, it made him heroic, and he painted Lincoln's pragmatism in heroic terms. What one gets in Lincoln Observed is therefore a relentlessly positive, upbeat account of Lincoln's presidential decisions, colored not so much by political ideology as by sincere admiration and friendship.
Such biases aside--or one might argue because of them--Burlingame makes a convincing case for Brooks' veracity.

He devotes a good portion of the book's introduction to this issue, pointing out that Brooks had earned Lincoln's trust to the extent that the president seriously considered appointing the California reporter as his private secretary. Burlingame also quotes several contemporaries of Lincoln and Brooks who corroborated their close relationship and suggested that, in the words of one former congressman, "no man living had better opportunity to know Lincoln's mind than Noah Brooks" p. Burlingame has also taken great pains to present points of view at odds with Brooks' observations and interpretations.
This makes for a careful, very well-edited volume, with copious footnotes and annotations. These technical matters aside, however, I have come to think that, past a certain point, one simply develops an instinct for these matters.

Read enough secondhand accounts of Lincoln--and there are very, very many-- and one eventually acquires a visceral feel for the evidence. So does Brooks' account of Lincoln "feel" right?
[Opinion] Resurrecting Lincoln : The DONG-A ILBO
Does it ring true? For the most part it does. Brooks resisted the urge, prevalent among many observers of Lincoln, to oversentimentalize the president's every word and action. He was present with Lincoln in a variety of settings--conferences, formal presentations, ceremonies, troop reviews--and he offered his readers a kaleidoscope of shifting presidential behaviors. Lincoln "smiled benevolently" upon African-American troops passing before him during a military parade; he "was very mad" at a premature press release of Union army troop movements; he shook the hand of an old friend during a crowded White House reception without at first recognizing him, then apologized, saying cryptically he was "thinking of a man down South"; he rather absent-mindedly forgot exactly which revisions he made to the Gettysburg Address among the versions he wrote, delivered at the battlefield, then released to the press; he cracked a joke during a cabinet meeting; he became visibly annoyed at a delegation of Republican party functionaries seeking a favor; he schmoozed reporters--including Brooks--by praising their home states.
All of this has the air of chaos, of messiness, which one would expect of a complicated man caught in the most complicated of times. This has an authentic ring. Lincoln Observed offers more than testimony about the president. Brooks' mind and pen ranged far and wide across a busy landscape. His sardonic descriptions of the crowds who attended White House receptions are often quite funny. Brooks also wrote several vivid vignettes of prominent Washington personalities--Secretary of State William Seward, for example, who "sits on the small of his back, twirling his watch guard and telling pleasant stories of the past and present" p.
Brooks' lengthy portrait of the Lincoln White House is grittily realistic: Lincoln's office, for example, was "furnished with green stuff, hung around with maps and plans, with a bad portrait of Jackson over the chimney piece" p. Brooks was a colorful observer, but, as with Lincoln, he was not at all objective. For example, he developed an intense dislike for Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase--whom he described as "cold-hearted, obstinate, and enormously self-conceited"--and a mild but persistent streak of antisemitism marred several of his accounts "men of Hebraic descent are Nevertheless, readers who want a feel for the atmosphere of Civil War-era Washington DC will find much of that is useful here.
His death last week brought back memories of his urgency, his hard work, the way he connected the players to the community he regularly took the whole first-team squad to a darts and dominoes night in the George pub.

Plus there was his early embrace of sports science. And they did not again, until Cowley arrived, with his enthusiasm for analytics and his open-door policy that allows the fans to watch training and attend his press conferences.
It works both ways. If the supporters see how hard the players are working, realise they are not robots, it really helps everyone get on board. And on board they have got. The 5, Lincoln fans who travelled to Portman Road to watch the draw with Ipswich represented the largest away following the club have mustered for a cup tie since Taylor cajoled as many to head to West Bromwich in Danny Cowley says the momentum has been gathering since he arrived in Lincolnshire from Braintree Town last June.
Everywhere is two hours from here. The consequence of being exactly in the middle of nowhere is that we can create a real strong allegiance with the club.

In our own small way, this is a sleeping giant. T he Cowley brothers had juggled their work at Braintree with careers in education. When they took up the job at Lincoln in the summer, both gave up their teaching posts and turned full- time. Perhaps more important was the video he then showed them. It seemed to me the place was still in mourning, five years on.
B ehind the scenes, they set about doing that with a gale of energy. The pair made training much more precise, bringing in a small army of volunteer sports science students from the local university to analyse everything.
