This question is from Rob W. Who is this man?

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-29-2018 03:15 PM

Could it be Addison Mizner?

RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 12-29-2018 03:25 PM

Is he Tarbell or Sandburg related?

RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018 04:26 PM

Roger and Eva,

It isn't Addison Mizner.

As for being Tarbell or Sandburg related, I would say yes, but there have been several authors who have acknowledged him.

Thanks, by the way Roger, for posting this. One of these days I might figure out how to do it myself.

Lincoln Steffens?

RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018 04:41 PM

Good guess, Roger, but it isn't Steffens. I will give one more clue given that this one is going to be difficult. Although he did some writing, he was not a journalist by trade.

Did he write a bio? Or another book?

RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018 04:50 PM

Not really a biography, per se, but rather a booklet with a limited printing.

Is it that which made him "VIP" or are we supposed to know him for some other accomplishment, too?

RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018 05:02 PM

No, there is much more than the booklet.

I sense he's involved with the Tv or film industry?

RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018 05:39 PM

Sorry Mike, but neither.

RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 12-29-2018 05:41 PM

Was he a collector? Or historian/scholar? (He could have written other books...) Or a politician?

RE: Who is this person? - Steve - 12-29-2018 06:00 PM

David Rankin Barbee?

RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018 06:31 PM

Steve, it's not Barbee.

Although he was not one of the "Big Five" he was a collector.
