The book proposal

[Joe Di Cola]

Rob,

The focus on Tarbell as a Lincoln biographer will set your work apart from all others. As a Lincoln person I am most interested in what motivated her and also on the historiography techniques she chose to employ in her work.

I feel that Tarbell, even more than Herndon and Weik, prepared the way for those who followed her, particularly Sandburg and Thomas and that your volume will put her into the proper light as a pioneer in Lincoln biography.

I really like the proposed chapter titles and hope that a publisher does not insist on your reverting to dull titles.

All the best,

Joe
