About the author: Carl August Sandburg (1878 – 1967) was an American poet, biographer, journalist, 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". When he died 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."

About the work: Remembrance Rock is Carl Sandburg's only novel.

Review: Sandburg has given scope and body and direction to the American dream as only a great poet, patriot and liberal of first-rate talent could hope to do. For all these he should be highly praised and awarded the Pulitzer Prize. ... it is ... unfortunate ... this book is called a novel, since its major values are political, poetical, and historical. — Sterling North, The Washington Post, 17 October 1948

Remembrance Rock was first published in a limited deluxe edition of 1000 copies (signed, numbered, two volumes), then published in a one volume trade edition.

Carl Sandburg, his wife, and two daughters had their ashes buried under "Remembrance Rock", a 5-foot granite boulder whose name was the source for the novel's title, in the backyard of Sandburg's birthplace and boyhood home. less
