RE: Carl Sandburg and Lincoln
Kevin,
I think it, like Sandburg's work, gave us more the mythical Lincoln, and by that I don't mean false. I mean the Lincoln that most people would want to know and believe him to be. Even Lincoln's contemporaries made it known that it was hard to know who Lincoln really was, so that"s why I think Sandburg's interpretation is just as valid as anyone else. 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
