Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the 16th President of the United States and remains one of the most seminal figures in American History. During his tenure, which was cut short by his assassination in 1865, he saw the country through the Civil War and stewarded Emancipation. Carl August Sandburg’s (1878-1967) biography, The Prairie Years, traces the early part of Lincoln’s life and the formation of a man who would go on to be president up until his move to Washington. Sandburg would also publish additional volumes covering Lincoln’s war years. Hailed as a voice of American, Sanburg would win one of his three Pulitzer Prizes for this compelling biography.
