The People, Yes
Across one hundred and seven sections, the work assembles the vernacular speech of railroad gangs and prairie sodbusters into an unvarnished American portrait. Sandburg gathers the tall tales of Paul Bunyan and Pecos Pete alongside the everyday proverbs of Midwest farmers.
Work gangs, harvest hands, and city crowds provide the brisk cadence of a changing nation. The volume records the quiet endurance of ordinary labor from the Texas panhandle to the Chicago stockyards.
"If America has a folksinger today he is Carl Sandburg, a singer who comes out of the prairie soil... who can hand back to the people a creation that has scraps of their own insight, humor, and imagination" (Padraic Colum).
- American Poetry: Free-verse cantos capture the speech of Kansas wheat harvests, and the quiet meditations of Abraham Lincoln on labor and democracy.
- Folklore: The collection catalogs popular legends across the continent, from John Henry swinging his hammer to Chief Hiamovi speaking on the unity of all races.
- Political Poetry: Verses confront the Great Depression directly, documenting union picket lines, the protests of Gloversville factory hands, and the struggles of the dispossessed.
- Raw Honesty: Sandburg interweaves courtroom quips, lunchroom signs, and sidewalk banter that show how everyday humor kept working people resilient amid hardship.
- Also by This Author: Honey and Salt, Selected Poems and Harvest Poems.
