LibraryThing Review
User Review - DinadansFriend - LibraryThingThe prose is lush and this single volume was edited down from six volumes in total. But Lincoln is the chief ornament of American civilization so far and I enjoyed a very reliable biography. Read with the Kearns work on the political Lincoln, I think it is time well spent.

LibraryThing Review
User Review - JVioland - LibraryThingA wonderful work. As a reader, I came to appreciate Lincoln the man through the skill of Sandburg. Sandburg has so well erased his fingerprints from the biography that you are reading. Instead you are watching the development of character in the man who became arguably the greatest of Americans.
