      Sandburg's monument to Lincoln as War President. These volumes are 
more historically accurate and less literary than "The Prairie Years," but 
Sandburg still finds opportunities to hold readers spellbound with his 
mastery of language. Volume I is SIGNED by Sandburg on half title. Each of 
the four volumes is a first trade printing after the de luxe edition of 525 
copies. See EICHER, #413; MONAGHAN, #3711; ANGLE, SOLB pp. 56-58; HOWES, 
#S82; NEVINS, CWB Vol. II, p.87; MULLINS, UNION BOOKSHELF #80; etc. 
Uniformly bound in dark blue cloth over boards with gilt-stamped spines, 
blind-stamped upper boards, and pale yellow topstains. Fore edges untrimmed. 
All volumes show minor browning to endpapers along hinges. Volumes I-III 
have faint scattered foxing to preliminaries and mild soil to bottom edges 
of textblocks. Bindings show a few minor rubs to extremities. No prior 
ownership marks, no cracked hinges. A handsome set.
