Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years by Carl Sandburg is a two-volume biography that explores Lincoln's life from his childhood through his early political career, ending just before he became president. Published in 1926, Sandburg’s work combines detailed historical research with a lyrical, almost poetic style, reflecting his background as both a poet and a historian. The narrative captures the spirit of the American frontier, vividly portraying the world that shaped Lincoln’s character and values.

The book provides insight into Lincoln’s formative years—his struggles with poverty, self-education, and early experiences with law and politics. Sandburg emphasizes the influences that helped mold Lincoln’s sense of justice and compassion, such as his time working as a laborer, his encounters with slavery, and his debates on moral and political issues. Throughout, Lincoln emerges not only as a brilliant politician but also as a deeply human figure, marked by humor, melancholy, and a profound sense of purpose.

Sandburg’s approach blends history with storytelling, making the biography both informative and engaging. His attention to detail and vivid descriptions allow readers to feel immersed in Lincoln's world, setting the foundation for his later work, Abraham Lincoln: The War Years. Together, these books offer one of the most comprehensive portraits of Lincoln's life and legacy. Narrated by Emmy Nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano and The Scythe.
