Sandberg was born 13 years after the Civil War concluded (1865), and after visiting over a hundred libraries and more sites, he writes as a newspaperman from his Goat Farm, with a great emphasis on the documents, quotations, and portraits of the period. He finished the first volume in 1939.
I know that this is a 'classic', but I found the writing tedious at times. At one spot, there were two complete pages that contained a single sentence. I actually skipped a few chapters. There was some interesting material, and it is good that this brings together an incredible number of sources (its main benefit), but there are other biographies I liked much better. ( )
