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.

Rob, has the person ever been mentioned on this forum?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Steve - 03-14-2022 05:35 AM
Not an historian, I'll go with journalist. Lincoln Steffens?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 03-14-2022 07:43 AM
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.

Sorry gentlemen, but neither is correct. Gene, I don't think Tarbell ever went where no man has gone before.
Next clue: FDR was also impressed by this man's work.
