 Title:  "Ida M. Tarbell"  
 Published:  1995 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: Without expressing any opinion critically, it is quite safe to say that there are few, if any, living American writers on historical subjects in whom the general reading public has more real interest than Miss Ida M. Tarbell, the author of the lives of Madame Roland, Napoleon and of Lincoln, and The History of the Standard Oil, which is now running serially in McClure's Magazine. Miss Tarbell was interviewed a short time ago for THE BOOKMAN by Mr. Charles Hall Garrett, and out of that interview grew these paragraphs. Beginning biographically, it is enough to say that Miss Tarbell attended school in Titusville, Pennsylvania, and later Alleghany College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, where she was an editor of the college publication. Being graduated with honours, she became preceptress of the Seminary at Poland, Ohio. Two years later she assumed the associate editorship of the Chautauquan, published at Meadville in the interests of its Chautauqua work; and eventually became managing editor of that publication. It was during this period that she awakened to a realisation of her interest in historical and biographical work.
