Tarbell is a collection of character-driven narratives written in the early 20th century. These stories center around the reminiscences of Billy Brown, a fictional character who fondly recounts his encounters with Abraham Lincoln and reflects on his own life in Illinois during that time. The book likely serves as both a tribute to Lincoln's legacy and a depiction of the social climate of the era, emphasizing the candid interactions between Lincoln and ordinary people. The opening of this collection introduces Billy Brown as he reminisces about his conversations and experiences with Abraham Lincoln, who frequently visited his drug store. Through Billy's anecdotal narratives, readers get a vivid portrait of Lincoln as a personable and relatable figure, someone who enjoyed storytelling and engaged deeply with the people around him. Billy recalls the fun and humor of their conversations, illustrating both Lincoln's wit and his profound connections with his constituents. This serves to humanize Lincoln, portraying him as a leader who connected with common folks and understood their struggles and joys, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of both personal and historical themes in the rest of the collection.
