RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Although I don't think it would help, no Googling please.
Of whom was Tarbell speaking when she wrote "It grows on me as I think of it, which I take it is as good a proof as one could have of the sincerity, intelligence, deep conviction in your work." First clue. She is not writing about a historian. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Roger, I imagine at some point this person might have been, but I can't swear to it.
Steve, good guess, but it isn't Steffens. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

Sorry gentlemen, but neither is correct. Gene, I don't think Tarbell ever went where no man has gone before.
