RE: Adin Baber on Nancy Hanks
It was William Barton who first began to question Caroline Hanks Hitchcock. She poured out a bucket of vitriol in her letters to Tarbell against Barton, but Tarbell, trying to play both sides against the middle, didn't take the bait. To get a first-hand account, here are the relevant Tarbell papers where Hitchcock is concerned.

I would also suggest doing the same for Barton, given that there are different ways his name is used in her papers. 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
