    		You may be thinking of Carl Sandburg's 6-volume work. He edited it down to one. I read a 3-volume edition many years ago.

    		I remember my high school English teacher saying way too many years ago that the greatest tragedy to have befallen Lincoln was to have had Carl Sandberg as his biographer.

    		I'm sure it's debatable, but I'd say the David Herbert Donald
    Lincoln certainly fits the bill...

    		There are also guys like Lerone Bennett, Jr and Thomas DiLorenzo who add to the Lincoln scholarship.
