The Carl Sandburg Historic Site Association is delighted to announce the print publication of Barbara Schock’s Sandburg’s Hometown: A Selected Anthology.  The book was released in early March 2024.  It includes 145 of Schock’s original 401 “Sandburg’s Hometown” articles originally posted on our sandburg.org website over a 10-year period from 2013-2022.  Schock’s articles focused on the people, the institutions and issues that shaped late 19th-century Galesburg, Illinois, during Carl Sandburg’s boyhood.  Many articles were inspired by Sandburg’s autobiography Always the Young Strangers published in 1953.  Numerous historical images illustrate Schock’s entertaining and informative articles.

 

The publication of Sandburg’s Hometown was made possible in part by a grant from the Galesburg Community Foundation, as well as generous support from the late J. Michael Hobbs.  The book was edited by J. Richard Sayre.  All proceeds go to support the work of the Carl Sandburg Historic Site Association.
