Who do we mean by The Prophet-Wizard?
We mean not only artists, such as are named in this chapter, but dreamers and workers like Johnny Appleseed, or Abraham Lincoln.

The best account of Johnny Appleseed is in Harper's Monthly for November, 1871.

People do not know Abraham Lincoln till they have visited the grave of Anne Rutledge, at Petersburg, Illinois, then New Old Salem a mile away.

New Old Salem is a prophet's hill, on the edge of the Sangamon, with lovely woods all around.

Here a brooding soul could be born, and here the dreamer Abraham Lincoln spent his real youth.
