All are good guesses, but none are correct. The person who said this is still an academic.

All are logical guesses, but not correct. I'll have another clue later in the day.

Not sure about Harold Holzer's stance on Sandburg, but I'll guess him first and then Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Sorry Laurie, but it's neither Holzer nor Goodwin.

Next clue. His first name is Robert, but you will never find him by using that.
