"Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site was authorized by Congress on October 17, 1968, as a unit within the Department of Interior's National Park Service. The site is located in Flat Rock, North Carolina, where Carl Sandburg spent the last 22 years of his life. The park was the first such site set aside in honor of an American poet. Sandburg was one of America's most versatile and recognized writers and his literary career speaks to the American experience - its struggles and dreams. Sandburg captured America's traditions, grand and everyday, in his poetry, histories, biographies, novel and collection of folk songs. Sandburg relentlessly advocated social justice and his writings reflect a deep respect for the lives of individual human beings, particularly those exploited into dangerous and unfair labor practices. Many social issues we continue to grapple with today were issues Sandburg brought to light in his writing." -- page 1 of Satchel lesson plan booklet, letter from National Park Service Superintendent to teachers using the satchelThis collection consists primarily of books, photos, CDs, DVDs, lesson plans, lesson plan materials, bow ties, a baking dish, and soap created and accrued by the United States National Park Service's Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site. The photographs, books, CDs and DVDs document his life as an activist, a war observer, a campaigner for those struggling with social injustice, a writer, and a poet. The collection also includes a look at his home, Connemara, in Flat Rock, North Carolina and the establishment, evolution, and role of National Parks."Carl August Sandburg (January 6, 1878 – July 22, 1967) was an American poet, writer, and editor. He won three Pulitzer Prizes: two for his poetry and one for his biography of Abraham Lincoln. During his lifetime, Sandburg was widely regarded as "a major figure in contemporary literature", especially for volumes of his collected verse, including Chicago Poems (1916), Cornhuskers (1918), and Smoke and Steel (1920). He enjoyed "unrivaled appeal as a poet in his day, perhaps because the breadth of his experiences connected him with so many strands of American life", and at his death in 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson observed that "Carl Sandburg was more than the voice of America, more than the poet of its strength and genius. He was America." -- Wikipedia site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sandburg (viewed November 15, 2018)
