Carl Sandburg and Lincoln

[LincolnMan]

I just pulled out my copy of Mary Lincoln Wife and Widow by Sandburg, dated 1932- and note that the picture of Mary at the beginning of the book is the one (I believe) that was recently discovered to have been altered. It originally wasn't a painting of Mary at all. Just an interesting side-note, if you will. Then I read part of the Prologue about Mary and am refreshed with Sandburg "speak:" "She lived, suffered, laughed, wept, sat in candlelight and shadows, and passed out from the light of the living sun." Who else could write like that?
