Produktinformationen zu „Storm Over the Land (ePub)“

Writings on the American Civil War selected from the Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential biography Abraham Lincoln: The War Years, with illustrations and maps.

Drawn from Carl Sandburg's magisterial biography of the sixteenth US president, this volume focuses in on the War Between the States, bringing the author's trademark clarity and vivid style to this dark and dramatic period in the nation's history. Moving from Sumter to Shiloh, Antietam to Gettysburg, Storm Over the Land is a classic chronicle of this bloody conflict, richly illustrated with halftones and drawings.

Autoren-Porträt von Carl Sandburg

Carl Sandburg was an American poet, biographer, journalist, and editor. He is the recipient of three Pulitzer Prizes: two for his poetry and one for his biography of Abraham Lincoln. During his lifetime, Sandburg was widely regarded as "a major figure in contemporary literature," especially for his volumes of collected verse, including Chicago Poems (1916), Cornhuskers (1918), and Smoke and Steel (1920). He enjoyed "unrivaled appeal as a poet in his day, perhaps because the breadth of his experiences connected him with so many strands of American life," and, upon his death in 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson said about the writer: "Carl Sandburg was more than the voice of America, more than the poet of its strength and genius. He was America."
