RE: A Sandburg Stumper
You are correct Joe. It is August Sandburg. My next clue was going to be how Sandburg nicknamed him "The Old Man." Sandburg and his brother worked for their father doing chores around the house and what made it interesting to me was that Sandburg marveled at how his father would put in 14 hours as a blacksmith's assistant and then come home and work several more hours around the house.
Good job! 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
