Carl Sandburg's life was like a tall tale. Yes, Sandburg was only a man. But, his words were Paul Bunyan; his words were John Henry: impossibly real. For much of the 20th century, Sandburg was synonymous with the American experience, a spokesman and writer on behalf of the people. The Day Carl Sandburg Died Premiers Monday, Sept. 24, at 10 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings)...
