Sandberg was born 13 years after the Civil War concluded (1865), and after visiting over a hundred libraries and more sites, he writes as a newspaperman from his Goat Farm, with a great emphasis on the documents, quotations, and portraits of the period. He finished the first volume in 1939.

There was some interesting material, and it is good that this brings together an incredible number of sources (its main benefit), but there are other biographies I liked much better. ( )
