Ida Tarbell and John Wilkes Booth

[GARY POPOLO]

Just received word from my contact in Pennsylvania that the remainder of Ida Tarbell's Lincoln material was uploaded to their website today. Included in this is material which Tarbell wrote on John Wilkes Booth. Her article on Booth's oil speculation was one of the last articles she tried to publish before her death. It was rejected by a number of publications including the New York Times.

Here is the link to Tarbell's material on Booth.

Oh, and now that all the material on Lincoln is available, you likely won't see me on here for a few months.

Good Luck Rob, Going to miss your posts. Hope to hear from you soon. Best Gary P.
