RE: Carl Sandburg and Lincoln
Yes, Bill, Sandburg was a far more complex person than many give him credit for. I think much of the disdain for him came about in the 1960s during the rise of the "new history" and its disdain of nationalistic history, which Sandburg's certainly was. Of course, it's far more complicated then that, but my research had proven that out so far.
I am aware of the documentary, which was done by a fellow named Paul Bonesteel. I'm really looking forward to it. 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
