Carl Sandburg Abraham Lincoln: The War Years 4-Vol. Set — Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1939
Classic four-volume 1939 edition of Abraham Lincoln: The War Years by Carl Sandburg, published by Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York. This definitive chronicle of Lincoln’s presidency and the Civil War earned Sandburg the 1940 Pulitzer Prize for History and remains a cornerstone of American historical literature. Bound in textured black cloth with gilt lettering on spine, the set includes all four volumes (I–IV) complete as issued.
A companion to Sandburg’s earlier The Prairie Years, this monumental work offers an expansive portrait of Lincoln through detailed narrative, official documents, letters, and photographs—over 400 illustrations in total. Its enduring literary and historical significance make it an essential addition for collectors of Americana, presidential history, or fine 20th-century printing.
Condition:
In very good condition overall. Bindings remain tight and gilt lettering bright. Light shelf rubbing and minor corner wear consistent with age. Pages clean, with no writing or foxing observed. No dust jackets present. A well-kept vintage example of this Pulitzer Prize–winning edition.
Dimensions:
Each volume approx. 9.5 x 6.5 inches. Set includes Volumes I–IV.
