RE: Extra Credit Questions
I think I'm going to call it. I realize the last picture is kind of dark, but I thought it would jog people's mind.
The correct answer is the photos are part of the Oliver Barrett-Carl Sandburg collection at the Newberry Library in Chicago. I stumbled across them on the Internet Archive when I was looking for something else. The last picture is of Sandburg (he's on the left) and originally appeared in Penelope Nivens' biography. According to the Newberry, the majority of the photos in the collection were owned by Sandburg and were given to Barrett's son, Roger. Both Sandburg and Oliver Barrett sold stereopticons when they were younger. I purposefully did not put this in The Sandburg Stumper category because I thought that would give it away. 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
