Theme in Yellow?
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 04-12-2021 08:59 AM
Sorry Roger, but that's not correct.
First clue. Sandburg was generally praised for this.

Second clue:
Newspapers 50 years later were still talking about it.

Based on that second clue, I'd have to guess Sandburg's 1919 book on the Chicago race riot of that year based on his newspaper articles.

Sandburg's "Lincoln Tribute"
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 04-12-2021 09:18 PM
Sorry Anita, but Steve got it. Sandburg covered the 1919 race riot in Chicago for the Chicago Daily News, and while some of his writing might seem somewhat obtuse to our 21st century ears, it was one of the few times that African-Americas in Chicago were treated as human beings in the white Chicago press.
Great job Steve.

Who was the reviewer quoted?
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 04-13-2021 11:13 AM
Steve,
It was written by Edith Franklin Wyatt in the March 17, 19230 edition of The New Republic.

It's been a while since I featured a Sandburg Stumper, so in honor of the new year upcoming, what is the significance of the number 1,102 to Sandburg?

Carl Sandburg has 1,103 published poems. So I think the question is referring to that.
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 12-29-2021 10:12 AM
For some reason my initial post didn't take. Steve is correct that this is the.number of poems Sandburg published. The figure I saw doesn't include a poem found in Sandburg's papers at the University of Illinois in 2013.

It’s good to see the Sandburg stumper back in rotation again!
RE: A Sandburg Stumper - Rob Wick - 02-18-2022 06:38 PM
No googling, please.
Carl Sandburg and Ida Tarbell obviously had Abraham Lincoln in common. But they also had something else in common completely unrelated to Lincoln. What was it?

They were both muckrakers?
