Originally published in six volumes, Carl Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln was praised as the most noteworthy historical biography of Sandburg's generation. ... critics and readers alike consider [this] his greatest work of nonfiction, as well as the most distinguished, authoritative biography of Lincoln ever published. Growing up in an Illinois prairie town, Sandburg listened to stories of old-timers who had known Lincoln. By the time this single-volume edition was competed, he had spent a lifetime studying, researching, and writing about the sixteenth president. His extraordinary portrait brings fully to life the country lawyer who would become one of the most influential and beloved presidents of the American republic." --worldcat From the private collection of noted attorney, sailor, and sometime cowboy, Joshua L. Soske Jr.
