A lot of people in the area wondered why this famous man had chosen our little community as his new home. He had paid what was thought to be an astounding price of $45,000 for 248 acres of land that included a three-story main house, a barn complex and several outbuildings. Mr. Sandburg reportedly said he felt he'd bought an entire “village,” and Mrs. Sandburg, a breeder of champion milk goats told friends that they had bought “a million acres of sky.” The estate was once owned by C. G. Memminger, the first secretary of the Confederacy. I wonder if Mr. Sandburg, the greatest Lincoln authority knew this or, if he did, found it somewhat ironic. I collected his garbage I was required to read some of his writings in high school, but the first time I came face to face with Carl Sandburg was an early morning at his home in Flat Rock. I had, along with John Shepherd, an older friend, established the first rural garbage collection service in Hendersonville. I was a junior in high school. Sandburg was a customer. “Come on in,” he said, as I went to his kitchen door to pick up his garbage.

  • Doris Kearns Goodwin
    Connecting You with the World's Greatest Minds Doris Kearns Goodwin Doris Kearns Goodwin is a world-renowned presidential historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Goodwin is the author of six critically acclaimed and New York Times best-selling books, including her most recent, The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism (November, 2013). Winner of the Carnegie Medal, The Bully Pulpit is a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks Studios has acquired the film and television rights to the book. Spielberg and Goodwin previously worked together on Lincoln, based in part on Goodwin’s award-winning Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, an epic tome that illuminates Lincoln's political genius, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. Team of Rivals was awarded the prestigious Lincoln Prize, the inaugural Book Prize for American History, and Goodwin in 2016 was the first historian to receive the Lincoln Leadership Prize from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation. The film Lincoln grossed $275 million at the box office and earned 12 Academy Award® nominations, including an Academy Award for actor Daniel Day-Lewis for his portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln. Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in history for No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II, and is the author of the best sellers Wait Till Next Year, Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream and The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys, which was adapted into an award-winning five-part TV miniseries.

(August 2006) Evert Villarreal, B.A., The University of Texas-Pan American; M.A., The University of Texas-Pan American Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. William Bedford Clark Chapter I of this study is an attempt to articulate and understand the factors that have contributed to Carl Sandburg’s declining trajectory, which has led to a reputation that has diminished significantly in the twentieth century. I note that from the outset of his long career of publication – running from 1904 to 1963 – Sandburg was a literary outsider despite (and sometimes because of) his great public popularity though he enjoyed a national reputation from the early 1920s onward. Chapter II clarifies how Carl Sandburg, in various ways, was attempting to re- invent or re-construct American literature.

  • Obama, Sandburg and Lincoln by Walter G. Moss
    Obama, Sandburg and Lincoln By Walter G. Moss Obama and Lincoln, okay; but "Obama, Sandburg, and Lincoln"? Lincoln scholar, poet, and folk singer Carl Sandburg (1878- 1967) is seldom mentioned anymore, but that's unfortunate. A half century ago he was, in the words of his friend Illinois governor Adlai Stevenson, "the one living man whose work and whose life epitomize the American dream." During the Great Depression and World War II, he did much to keep American hopes alive. It is that same "audacity of hope" that President Obama is now trying to restore. In 1999 a scholar wrote that Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years and The War Years is, for better or worse, the best-selling, most widely read, and most influential book about Lincoln .... Probably more Americans have learned their Lincoln from Sandburg than from any other source." The book itself was a condensed version of six Sandburg volumes, and in 1940 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for History. In 1959, he had the unique honor of addressing Congress on the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. Among professional historians, however, Sandburg's Lincoln writings have often been criticized for taking artistic liberties with history. Regardless of such criticism, this once famous man who also twice won or shared a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and appeared on the cover of popular magazines deserves to be remembered for sustaining the American spirit. And in many surprising ways, this son of poor but hard-working Swedish immigrants foreshadowed our first African-American president. Born and raised in Galesburg, Illinois, Sandburg attended Lombard College (even played basketball on its team).

  • A Lincoln Portrait: Celebrating the Life of Abraham Lincoln
    A Lincoln Portrait: Celebrating the Life of Abraham Lincoln This is America The statue of President Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC From VOA Learning English, welcome to This is America. I'm Steve Ember. Today we tell about Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. 1 learningenglish.voanews.com | Voice of America | February 10, 2014 “Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We – even we here – hold the power and bear the responsibility.” That was actor Henry Fonda, speaking the words of President Lincoln. This recitation is part of “A Lincoln Portrait,” a work by American composer Aaron Copland. Today, we tell the story of this great American president. Come along with us. The words we just heard were part of a speech President Lincoln gave to the United States Congress in 1862. At the time, he was leading the nation during the Civil War. This was the most serious crisis in American history. Lincoln spoke to lawmakers a month before he signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The document declared the freedom of slaves in states controlled by rebel forces. 2 learningenglish.voanews.com | Voice of America | February 10, 2014 Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky on February 12th, 1809. He grew up in Illinois. His family was poor and had no education.
