"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. 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 our 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.

An interesting take on Lincoln's life. Written in the metaphoric language of a poet rather than a historian, but coupled with numerous quotes from Lincoln and his contemporaries. The quotes are from both private sources such as letters and diaries; and from contemporary publications such as newspapers, magazines, etc. ( )

To Harry and Marion Dolores Pratt, a handsome team of Lincoln scholars, who gave time and care to the new manuscript of the Prairie Years, wherefore the author is responsible for possible inaccuracies or errors --
To Paul M. Angle, a hardened veteran in the Lincoln Field, a man of good will who can be relentlessly logical while hoping he is not "magisterial" in tone --
To Benjamin P. Thomas, a ball player and farmer who is a man of learning and integrity, possessed by Lincoln's dream of "man's vast future," a citizen with a deep and keen anxiety about the American Dream --
To Allan Nevins, whose four volume Ordeal of the Union and Emergence of Lincoln are a massive and vivid presentation of the fourteen-year national scenes in which Lincoln moved in silence or speech until his first inaugural --
To the departed friends Lloyd Lewis, Oliver Barrett, Alf Harcourt, Stevie Benét, Jim Randall, Douglas Freeman, Henry Horner, Jake Buchbinder, whose shadows linger and whose fellowship endures --
To Edward Steichen, whose projected photographic exhibition "The Family of Man" will register his faith joined to Lincoln's in the unity of mankind and the hope of "freedom for all men everywhere" --
To my wife, Paula, whose counsel was ever of help and whose many ready and cheerful attentions are a part of this book --
To Catherine McCarthy, whose exacting toils in the compression of a six-volume work into one volume, whose skills, perspicacity, and devotion are beyond praise, who merits an armful of roses in token of affectionate regard.
