Its a 19th century person. No, Rob. ....not Uncle Joe.
He migrated to the US in 1848 . A year older than Lincoln.
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 05-08-2021 06:42 PM
Quite a good singer, apparently.
Google if you wish.
He was prevented from doing something. .. until Lincoln changed the law.
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 05-08-2021 09:42 PM
Ok. He was born in Grunstadt.

Is it Jacob Frankel, the first Jewish chaplain in the U.S. Army?
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 05-09-2021 03:18 AM
Well done, Steve! !!! You got it.

Elizabeth Keckly reported that Mary Lincoln told her husband:
"He's a demagogue, and if you place him in power, Mr. Lincoln, mark my words, you will rue it some day."
Who was the person Mary was referring to?
RE: Who is this person? - Rogerm - 07-01-2021 08:12 AM
William Henry Seward?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 07-01-2021 08:22 AM
Good answer, Roger, but it was not Seward.
Regarding Seward, Elizabeth Keckly reported Mary said, "I wish you had nothing to do with that man. He cannot be trusted."
RE: Who is this person? - Steve - 07-01-2021 11:37 AM
Andrew Johnson
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 07-01-2021 11:55 AM
Kudos, Steve! This is what Elizabeth Keckly reported Mary told Abraham when she learned he was going to appoint Johnson as Military Governor of Tennessee.

You know who the person below is ... but it doesnt look like a photograph. More like an image.
Any ideas where it first appeared? Search on google allowed.
Ok. I'm feeling generous. Here's some clues ...

Pittsfield, Illinois?
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 07-16-2021 06:36 AM
No, sorry Roger ... Ah. I see a photo associated with Pittsfield, Illinois which was almost certainly the basis for "my" image.
Any ideas ? that second youtube clip is quite a good clue.
Here it is again

Well I started to search through some old Welsh newspapers, but the results were a bit overwhelming
https://newspapers.library.wales/image?range%5Bmin%5D=1500&range%5Bmax%5D=2500&page=1&query=Abraham+Lincoln&sort=date&order=desc&rows=24
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 07-16-2021 06:58 AM
Yes, Gene. Sorry. I tried to work out how I could point out that the image didnt actually appear in Wales.
Thanks for helping me.
It first appeared in the USA. Utica. But why? and whats the Welsh connection?

I'll try to gather another clue whilst I sleep
