RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - LincolnMan - 04-29-2013 07:47 AM Rob: great to have you back. That indeed was a tough trivia question! RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-05-2013 08:35 AM This hasn't anything to do with Tarbell, per se, although it is connected. Of whom did William E. Barton say "It is unfortunate, if this story came so vividly to [X's] recollection in 1865, that he waited more than a half century before telling it." Best Rob RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - RJNorton - 07-05-2013 09:33 AM Henry B. Rankin. RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-05-2013 10:49 AM Good job Roger. It was Rankin. RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-05-2013 12:55 PM Generally speaking Tarbell was a very disciplined writer. Given that her pen was her only real means of support she had to be. However, there was one book which took her almost 13 years to write. What was that book? Best Rob RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - RJNorton - 07-05-2013 03:15 PM The Business of Being a Woman? RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-05-2013 03:27 PM Good guess Roger, but that's not it. Best Rob RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-06-2013 07:33 AM First clue. It was in a series.

Joe RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-06-2013 09:16 AM Sorry Joe. Good guess but not the correct one. Best Rob RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-06-2013 11:51 AM Next clue. The series editor had a famous son. Best Rob RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Joe Di Cola - 07-06-2013 12:24 PM (07-06-2013 11:51 AM)Rob Wick Wrote: Next clue.This is a tough one! Could it be her autobiography: "All in a Day's Work"? RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-06-2013 12:53 PM Sorry Joe but that's not it either. Best Rob RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Gene C - 07-06-2013 08:03 PM I'll go with the obvious. Her "Life of Abraham Lincoln" RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 07-06-2013 08:29 PM Afraid not Gene.
