''The correspondence between Sandburg and Dodson suggests considerable amount about Sandburg's literary instincts, about how the older writer responsibly tutored the younger, and about Sandburg's great human warmth. Even without the Sandburg connection, the Dodson letters are of great value, because they are the reflections of a bright, self-taught, sincere, and faithful man.'' Philip R. Yannella, author of The Other Carl Sandburg
