Ida M. Tarbell's He Knew Lincoln; signed by her and in the rare original dust jacket
First Doubleday printing of Tarbell's collected Billy Brown stories, first published by McClure in 1907. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Signed by the author on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket.
In addition to her famous take-down of Standard Oil and other malefactors of wealth, Tarbell wrote extensively about Abraham Lincoln. Her best-known work, The Life of Abraham Lincoln was a massive success and earned Tarbell a national reputation as a major writer and the leading authority on Abraham Lincoln. The present volume presents a fictionalized domestic portrait of Lincoln as recounted in the 19th century dialect of Lincoln's young Illinois neighbor, Billy Brown.
