Abraham Lincoln : the prairie years

Carl Sandburg (Author), Harcourt Brace & Company (Publisher), Quinn & Boden Company (Printer)
"For thirty years and more I have planned to make a certain portrait of Abraham Lincoln. It would sketch the country lawyer and prairie politician who was intimate with the settlers of the Knox County neighborhood where I grew up as a boy, and where I heard the talk of men and women who had eaten with Lincoln, given him a bed overnight, heard his jokes and lingo, remembered his silences and his mobile face."-- Preface
