Abraham Lincoln

Carl Sandburg’s Abraham Lincoln is a masterful, distilled single-volume biography that captures the life of America’s 16th president, originally constructed from a six-volume series that garnered over a million sales. Drawing on his experiences and stories from old-timers in an Illinois prairie town, Sandburg dedicated a lifetime to researching and writing about Lincoln, creating an authoritative and engaging portrait of the country lawyer who rose to become a beloved leader. This work is celebrated as a significant contribution to historical biography and stands as Sandburg's greatest nonfiction achievement.
