RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
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 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

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
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 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
