Emily Mitchell? (Very, very, very wild guess)

Roger,
Good guess, but it's not her.

Caroline Hanks Hitchcock?

Right occupation Roger, but wrong person.

Clue #2.
Of her work, David C. Mearns said "The best things to be said about it are two: 1) she did not propagate the Ann Rutledge idyll, which may indicate that she had never heard of that woodland myth, and 2) that the style is, in a most moving sense, militantly dedicated."

Sorry Mr. Hess, but it's not her.

Clue #3.
She was the first woman to do what she did in regards to Lincoln.

Rev. Phebe Ann Coffin Hannaford.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 10-08-2013 06:44 AM
That is correct, Roger. Phebe Hanaford was a Universalist minister who was the first woman to write a full-scale biography of Lincoln in 1865, beating Tarbell by 35 years. She was quite a character. Good job!
You win one free sermon from the good Rev. Hanaford on the subject of your choice.

Thanks, Rob. If she could do a sermon on the Cubs winning the World Series in my lifetime that would be my wish. Time is running out!

She's only a minister, Roger, not a miracle worker.

Who is this gentleman?

Hint #1: He is somehow linked to the assassination.

William J. Ferguson?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 10-27-2013 12:16 PM
Brilliant, Dave! It's him. Had he lived 23 years longer, he surely would have been Samuel Beckett's first choice for the part of Lucky in "Waiting for Godot":

Dave, to check this you win tickets for the play at a theater of your choice (don't wait)!
