Sutton recorded his observations of and his conversations with Sandburg and his family, including Sandburg's wife and two of his three daughters. The house at Connemara Farm was originally built by Christopher Gustavus Memminger, Secretary of the Confederate Treasury, and is now a National Historic Site.
