1878-1967 Though best-known today for his poetry, including "Chicago" and "Fog," it was for the last of his six-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln that Carl Sandburg won the Pulitzer Prize in 1940. He was known, too, for his interest in American folklore, producing The American Songbag in 1927--a collection of several hundred folksongs and ballads. He was author of a novel Remembrance Rock, in 1948, and various children's books. Along the way, Sandburg, born in Galesburg, Illinois, studied at Lombard College in Galesburg from 1898-1902. He lived most of his life in Chicago but retired to Flat Rock, North Carolina.
