Reading Sandburg's six-volume work on Lincoln starting with Vol. 1 of the Prairie Years p. 20. Lincoln as a youth lived with his family near Knob Creek out from Elizabethtown, Kentucky.

"The Lincolns got well acquainted with Christopher Columbus Graham, a doctor, a scientist who was beginning to study and write books about rocks, flowers, plants, trees, and wild animals of Kentucky;..." Along with stories about Indians and adventures with Daniel Boone, Dr. Graham: "...mentioned a young storekeeper a young storekeeper at Elizabethtown, named John James Audubon, who had marvelous ways with birds and might some day write a great book about birds."

Neither the article on "Audubon" nor the one on "Elizabethtown, Ky." mention the fact that he lived in Elizabethtown. Certainly, he would be listed in Notable Residents, or in the history of the town. Is Sandburg misinformed?
