A Sandburg Stumper

When was the first time Sandburg wrote about Lincoln for a mass audience and what was the subject?

For a bonus, what was the first time he EVER wrote about Lincoln?

Prize will be an autographed first edition of Long on a Chase, if and when it's ever published.

Rob,

Is there one answer to both questions? When the Lincoln cent was issued in 1909, Carl Sandburg wrote a short piece abot Lincoln's face in the Milwaukee newspaper.
