RE: Who is this person?
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. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg

RE: Who is this person?
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.

RE: Who is this person?
Did he write a bio? Or another book?

RE: Who is this person?
Not really a biography, per se, but rather a booklet with a limited printing.

RE: Who is this person?
Is it that which made him "VIP" or are we supposed to know him for some other accomplishment, too?

RE: Who is this person?
No, there is much more than the booklet.

RE: Who is this person?
I sense he's involved with the Tv or film industry?

RE: Who is this person?
Was he a collector? Or historian/scholar? (He could have written other books...) Or a politician?

RE: Who is this person?
Steve, it's not Barbee.
Although he was not one of the "Big Five" he was a collector. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
