RE: Sandburg special on PBS
Bill,
I think the reason they skipped over that part was that he never actually saw combat. He spent his time in Puerto Rico, where the only thing he fought was mosquitoes and the heat. He kept a diary of his time there, but I didn't see it when I went through his papers the last time. I think it had some effect on him, but not as much as one might think. 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
