Carl Sandburg died today – 41 years ago

Author (of the Rootabaga Stories) Carl August Sandburg was born on January 6, 1878 in Galesburg, Illinois. He said, “Here is the difference between Dante, Milton, and me. They wrote about hell and never saw the place. I wrote about Chicago after looking the town over for years and years." [But what about the thermodynamics of hell and Chicago?]... Mr. Sandburg died on July 22, 1967 in Flat Rock, North Carolina.
