CARL SANDBURG (1878-1967)
was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet, historian, novelist and folklorist.
Sandburg tried many occupations and
fought in the Spanish-American War before moving to Chicago in 1913, where he
worked in journalism. He won recognition in 1914 with poems, including
"Chicago," perhaps his best-known work.
His free verse eulogizing American
workers appeared in such volumes as "Smoke and Steel"(1920) and
"The People, Yes" (1936). His other works include "Abraham
Lincoln: The Prairie Years" (1926), "Abraham Lincoln: The War
Years" (1939, Pulitzer Prize), "Remembrance Rock" (1948), and
four children's books.
Offering a very fine autograph,
tipped to cardstock, along with a complete TIME Magazine issued December 4,
1939, with his portrait on the cover and an extensive article about him.
Transmittal envelope from his final residence in Flat Rock, NC, included.
