Through extensive research and analysis, Tarbell provides a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of America's most iconic figures.1909.

She is also recognized for the Life of Abraham Lincoln. This small volume begins: Kindhearted? Mr. Lincoln kindhearted? I don't believe a man ever lived who'd rather seen everybody happy and peaceable than Abraham Lincoln. He never could stand it to have people sufferin' or not gettin' what they wanted. Time and time again I've seen him go taggin' up street here in this town after some youngster that was blubberin' because he couldn't have what wa'n't good for him. Seemed as if he couldn't rest till that child was smilin' again.
