Everyone knew his name...


During the first half of the twentieth century, Carl Sandburg seemed to be everywhere and do everything: poet and political activist; investigative reporter, columnist, and film critic; lecturer, folk singer, and musicologist; Lincoln biographer and historian; children's author; novelist; and media celebrity. In number of books sold, platform appearances delivered, and honors bestowed, he was one of the most successful American poets of the century. At his death in 1967, six thousand mourners gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. to pay their respects. But as time went on, his fame began to fade, and by the twenty-first century, the public knew little, if anything, about his legacy.
