RE: A Sandburg Stumper
Sorry Roger, but that's not correct.
First clue. Sandburg was generally praised for this. 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

RE: A Sandburg Stumper
Second clue:
Newspapers 50 years later were still talking about it. 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

RE: A Sandburg Stumper
Based on that second clue, I'd have to guess Sandburg's 1919 book on the Chicago race riot of that year based on his newspaper articles.

RE: A Sandburg Stumper
Sorry Anita, but Steve got it. Sandburg covered the 1919 race riot in Chicago for the Chicago Daily News, and while some of his writing might seem somewhat obtuse to our 21st century ears, it was one of the few times that African-Americas in Chicago were treated as human beings in the white Chicago press.
Great job Steve. 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

Steve,
It was written by Edith Franklin Wyatt in the March 17, 19230 edition of The New Republic. 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

RE: A Sandburg Stumper
It's been a while since I featured a Sandburg Stumper, so in honor of the new year upcoming, what is the significance of the number 1,102 to Sandburg?

RE: A Sandburg Stumper
Carl Sandburg has 1,103 published poems. So I think the question is referring to that.

RE: A Sandburg Stumper
For some reason my initial post didn't take. Steve is correct that this is the.number of poems Sandburg published. The figure I saw doesn't include a poem found in Sandburg's papers at the University of Illinois in 2013.

RE: A Sandburg Stumper
No googling, please.
Carl Sandburg and Ida Tarbell obviously had Abraham Lincoln in common. But they also had something else in common completely unrelated to Lincoln. What was it?
