Synopsis
Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years (Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1926) by Carl Sandburg is a two-volume biography covered Lincoln’s life up to his move from Springfield to Washington to become the President of the United States. Sandburg had planned to stop writing about Lincoln after the publication of The Prairie Years, but he became engaged in Lincoln’s life and for the next thirteen years he researched and wrote about the President’s last four years. In 1939, Sandburg published the second part of the biography, the four-volume Pulitzer-Prize winning Abraham Lincoln: The War Years.
