RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-29-2018
This question is from Rob W. Who is this man?
![[Image: whomightthismanbe1.jpg]](http://rogerjnorton.com/whomightthismanbe1.jpg)
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-29-2018
Could it be Addison Mizner?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 12-29-2018
Is he Tarbell or Sandburg related?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018
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.

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-29-2018
Lincoln Steffens?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018
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? - Eva Elisabeth - 12-29-2018
Did he write a bio? Or another book?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018
Not really a biography, per se, but rather a booklet with a limited printing.

RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 12-29-2018
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
No, there is much more than the booklet.

RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 12-29-2018
I sense he's involved with the Tv or film industry?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018
Sorry Mike, but neither.

Rob
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 12-29-2018
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
David Rankin Barbee?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018
Steve, it's not Barbee.
Although he was not one of the "Big Five" he was a collector.
