RE: Carl Sandburg and Lincoln
Bill,
The quote is what Sandburg inscribed in Randall's copy of the War Years in 1941 during a visit to Urbana. When I first read it, it seemed to me to encapsulate the friendship between Randall and Sandburg. Both knew what it was like to be on the receiving end of criticism and both knew how hard it could be to write history for a not-always friendly crowd. That they were very close and genuine friends surprised me. 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
