Galesburg photos

[Rob Wick]

Here's some photos from a couple of years ago when I spoke in Carl Sandburg's hometown of Galesburg, Illinois. Copies of the photos will be available in the gift shop after the tour is over.

The reason for the trip. I presented the paper on the friendship between Sandburg and James G. Randall that I had given at the Conference on Illinois History the previous year.

The bedroom where Sandburg was born.


The family kitchen.


The family dining room, literally two steps from the kitchen.


The museum in the visitor's center, which is a house next door.


The typewriter on which Sandburg wrote part of Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years.
