Good guess, Roger, but it's not Kate Warne.
Hint #1: Almost exactly one year later, Abraham Lincoln consulted her in a family matter. |

Brilliant, Laurie. During the CW, she was Superintendent of Army Nurses, and A. Lincoln asked her to recommend a nurse to care for Tad. Her advice was to employ Rebecca Pomroy.

RE: Who is this person?
Sorry for delay. Kudos, Roger, INCREDIBLE! I thought this one would need a while!
When reading about the many horses and mules that served and died in the CW, I was reminded of Hannibal's elephants ("only" about 40 though) in the Second Punic War that died from the cold weather when crossing the Alps, and thought that Hannibal would probably not have rejected the King of Siam's present. |
