Available on DVD!
A
Visit with Carl Sandburg is directed by Martin Hoade and NBC
Public Affairs Director Edward Stanley.
From 1952 to 1956, NBC television broadcast a series of
interviews with legendary figures in art and culture entitled
“Conversations ith Elder Wise Men.”
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.
