Inez L. Brisfjord reading John Ericsson Day Memorial, 1918 from Cornhuskers by Carl Sandburg (1878–1967). 

INTO the gulf and the pit of the dark night, the cold night, there is
a man goes into the dark and the cold and when he
comes back to his people he brings fire in his hands and they remember
him in the years afterward as the fire bringer--they
remember or forget--the man whose head kept singing to the want of his
home, the want of his people.

For this man there is no name thought of-- he has broken from jungles
and the old oxen and the old wagons--circled the
earth with ships--belted the earth with steel--swung with wings and a
drumming motor in the high blue sky--shot his words
on a wireless way through shattering sea storms :--out from the night
and out from the jungles his head keeps
singing--there is no road for him but on and on.

Against the sea bastions and the land bastions, against the great air
pockets of stars and atoms, he points a finger, finds a
release clutch, touches a button no man knew before.

The soldier with a smoking gun and a gas mask--the workshop man under
the smokestacks and the blueprints--these two
are brothers of the handshake never forgotten--for these two we give
the salt tears of our eyes, the salute of red roses, the
flame-won scarlet of poppies.

We went to a Seafood Place

During his lifetime, John Ericsson revolutionized several facets of technology. The Swedish-born engineer-inventor is best known for his work during the Civil War when he transformed naval warfare through his design of the iron-plated USS Monitor. The movements of Ericsson’s pencil across his drafting board were as crucial to victory as the movements of Lincoln’s armies across battlefields.
