As a growing boy in an Illinois prairie town I saw marching men who had fought under Grant and Sherman; I listened to stories of old-timers who had known Abraham Lincoln. At twenty in 1898 I served in the 6th Illinois Volunteers, our expedition to Porto Rico being commanded by General Nelson A. Miles, a brigadier general in some of the bloodiest battles of the Army of the Potomac in 1864. Our uniforms were the same light blue trousers and dark blue jackets with brass buttons as worn by the troops of the Army of the Potomac. We took swims in the Potomac River and had our first salt water swim in Charleston Harbor in sight of Fort Sumter. The Lincoln lore of that time and place was of the man in his Illinois backgrounds and settings. When for thirty years and more I planned to make a certain portrait of Abraham LIncoln, it was as the country lawyer and prairie politician. But when I finished my Prairie Years portrait, Lincoln the Man had grown on me so that I went on to write The War Years. Now twenty-eight years after publication of the two-volume Prairie Years and nearly fifteen years after publication of the four-volume War Years, I have tried to compress the essential story of Lincoln the Man and President into one volume.
