- Summary:
- In this program, the animated 75-years old author, poet and musician expounds on his hometown of Galesburg, Illinois, Republicans, and hangings, discusses his arrest for riding the rails, reads from “Phizzog,” “A Couple” and "Sliphorn Jazz,” plays guitar and sings “The State of El-A-Noy” and “Before I’d Be a Slave.” Carl Sandburg’s passionate admiration for Abraham Lincoln becomes evident as he discusses the sixteenth president’s life and the journey that led to the research and ultimate writing of his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography.
