description: Vol. 2 of a 2 vol. set. The author planned composing this book for nearly thirty years. He desired to make a particular portrait of Lincoln, that being a sketch of the country lawyer and prairie politician who was intimate with the settlers of the Knox County neighborhood where the author grew up. Sandburg heard the conversations 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. Illustrated.
