Tough Tarbell Trivia

[Rob Wick]

Bestor is a great guess, Steve, but it isn't him.

One of the reasons that this person and Tarbell got along so well was because of his view of women in the historical field. In a speech, he once said "[It's the] province of woman to vitalize history by clothing the dry bones of dead facts, of dry text books with flesh and color. Thus will history become a living thing, as fresh and beautiful as Venus springing from the foam of the sea."

Mike, just saw your guess after I posted. Vincent isn't the answer, but he and Tarbell were definitely friends.
