Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years (Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1926) by Carl Sandburg is a two-volume biography covering Lincoln’s life up to his move from Springfield to Washington to become the President of the United States.

In 1939, Sandburg published the second part of the biography, the four-volume Pulitzer-Prize winning Abraham Lincoln: The War Years.
