Good guess, but it's not her.

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."

RE: Who is this person?
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. Smile

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)!
