1926. 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. Volume 1 ISBN 076614397X.… (más)
When we delve back into Sandburg's volume two of Abraham Lincoln: the Prairie Years Lincoln is now in his forties. He is a family man. His political life is becoming more and more entangled with his career as a lawyer. His direct, plain-speaking, and honest approach has people trusting him and he soon has a following of stump-speech fans. In the courtroom, his ability to deliver calm closing arguments that sway even the toughest juries has people wanting him to run for President of the United States. As Sandburg eloquently put it, "His words won him hearts in unknown corners of far-off places" (p 155). His role as a leader of our country is starting to come into shape. ( )
