Extra Credit Questions

I have mentioned this before, but I am still looking at what Lincoln supposedly said when he met Harriet Beecher Stowe. The tradition is that when Lincoln was introduced to her he said, "So, this is the little lady who started this great war." Many historians accept the quote, but I wonder if this is simply a part of Stowe family lore, and there's no proof Lincoln actually said those words. As far as I know, Stowe herself never made the claim. And Lincoln never claimed to have said it to her.
