Hint #4: There is more than one Florida.
Hint #4.5: Linda Anderson, long ago, mentioned this in a post involving a student skit. |

Is this the Seward home?
In case of emergency, Lincoln and children first. |

RE: Who is this person?
Kudos, Angela! That is the birthplace of William Seward in Florida, New York.
Way back on August 6, 2012, Linda Anderson made a post which included the following information: (08-06-2012 08:43 AM)Linda Anderson Wrote: Students from the Florida Union School District in Florida, NY recently performed a skit of Lewis Powell's attack on William Seward. There is a great picture included in the article from the June 2012 edition of The Florida Focus. The article Linda referred to is still online here. Then, recently I saw this article in The Warwick Advertiser. I thought some folks might remember it from Linda's original post because previously I think a lot of us had never heard of Florida, New York. Angela, I cannot think of an appropriate prize so I will just send all best wishes to you for a wonderful trip to the USA! |

RE: Who is this person?
Whoa, I can't believe this was right - Florida had me searching and I ended up with Seward. But I thought this would have been much more fancier...
Thank you for the prize, Roger! That is really all I need right now! I'm on my way and am counting the hours...! In case of emergency, Lincoln and children first. |

RE: Who is this person?
Excellent guess, Roger, but, I am sorry, not correct.
Hint #1: This sketch shows the gentleman upon his arrival in a city where he successfully sought to make his fortune. Hint #2: This was in 1831. |

RE: Who is this person?
Is that Abraham Lincoln, himself, arriving in Springfield?

RE: Who is this person?
I sure don't think he made a fortune, but is it Mentor Graham arriving in the New Salem vicinity (from Kentucky). Possibly a Lloyd Ostendorf sketch?

RE: Who is this person?
Please excuse me for being such a poor host this time. I expected it could happen, but not to that "degree". I promise bettering henceforth.
Both of yours are excellent guesses, Roger and Roger, but of these none is correct either. Hint #3: The city is a city which still attracts MANY people worldwide for similar and other reasons. Hint #4: A. Lincoln wrote this gentleman (or not) at least one famous letter. |

RE: Who is this person?
Another very good guess, Roger, but it wasn't Joshua Speed either.
Hint #5: The gentleman made his fortune in journalism. |

RE: Who is this person?
I will make another wild guess. Was this Seward's friend, Thurlow Weed?

RE: Who is this person?
Roger, this is a very hot guess. I am sorry to say it is not Thurlow Weed either, but you almost got it!
