Description: "For thirty years and more I 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.
Notes: "The first edition of Abraham Lincoln; the prairie years, is limited to 260 copies on imported Dutch charcoal rag paper, numbered and signed by the author, of which 250 copies are for sale."
