Sandburg in the Civil War Monitor

Just a heads up that Mark Grimsley has written an interesting, and generally favorable, article on Carl Sandburg's contribution to Lincoln biography in the latest Civil War Monitor magazine. That Grimsley views Sandburg favorably goes against the grain of most academics, who find very little to like in either his poetry or biography. Just one more reason to pick up the Monitor!

Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom.
