Ships with care and protection. John Hay was only 22 years old when he became Abraham Lincoln’s presidential secretary. He stood beside Lincoln during the most difficult time in American history—the Civil War. Hay was born in 1838 in Indiana, studied law, and was an excellent writer. He caught the attention of Lincoln’s campaign team and was chosen to help during the 1860 election. When Lincoln became president, Hay was invited to work as one of his personal secretaries. He wrote speeches, letters, and important government documents, met with officials and helped Lincoln with daily tasks. Along with fellow secretary John Nicolay, Hay became one of Lincoln’s closest aides. He saw the president almost every day and understood his thoughts and struggles. Hay admired Lincoln deeply, describing him as kind, wise, and full of humor, even in dark times. Lincoln trusted Hay and often spoke with him about the war and the future of the country. During the Civil War, Hay witnessed many historic moments. He saw generals come and go, heard debates about freeing enslaved people, and watched Lincoln make tough decisions. After Lincoln’s death, Hay continued his career in politics and diplomacy. Years later, he helped write a famous biography of Lincoln with John Nicolay. Their work helped shape how people remember Lincoln today.
