Aprašymas

2022 Reprint of the two volume 1926 edition. Illustrated. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is the first installment of Sandburg's Pulitzer Prize winning biography of Lincoln. These first two volumes, Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years, were published in 1926 and cover the period from Lincoln's birth through his inauguration as president. The two volumes are published in one in the present edition.

Originally published in six volumes, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Carl Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln was called "the greatest historical biography of our generation." By gleaning every possible reference from history, literature, and popular lore, Sandburg successfully captures not only the legendary president, but also Lincoln the man. He reveals exactly who Lincoln was, and what forces in his life shaped his personality.

Profusely illustrated with black-and-white historical photographs and line engravings that depict Lincoln, the places he went, and the people who knew him.
