Ida Minerva Tarbell (November 5, 1857 – January 6, 1944) was an American teacher, author and journalist. She was one of the leading "muckrakers" of the progressive era of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is thought to have pioneered investigative journalism. She wrote many other notable magazine series and biographies, including several works on President Abraham Lincoln, revealing his early life. This book contains her 1909 Lincoln lecture at the University of Michigan and the Billy Brown Stories, namely; He Knew Lincoln; Back in '58; Father Abraham; and In Lincoln's Chair.
