"A Lincoln whom no other man than Carl Sandburg could have given us." --Mark Van Doren, New York Herald Tribune Book Review Originally published in six volumes, which sold more than one million copies, Carl Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln was praised as the most noteworthy historical biography of Sandburg's generation. He later distilled this monumental work into one volume that critics and readers alike consider his greatest work of nonfiction, as well as the most distinguished, authoritative biography of Lincoln ever published.

Early on Carl Sandburg wrote a four volume version of "Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years and the War Years." In 1957, those four volumes were condensed to two volumes of the same name. As he should, Sandburg lovingly told Lincoln's history from beginning to end. Sandburg is one of our greatest storytellers and Lincoln has the greatest story to tell, about how he saved the Union and freed us all by freeing slaves. A great value and a stunning read.
