I can't believe that I would remember this from the newer version done in 1965, so I must have seen it tied to some other work in the not-so-distant past. If you had not typed the ship as "Commerce," there would have been no light bulb come on! |

RE: Who is this person?
I sure see the resemblance, Bill, but it isn't Dickens. This is a person whom Lincoln knew during his term as President.

RE: Who is this person?
Michael and Eva, I am sorry, but the man was not an actor, emperor, inventor, or poet.
Hint #1: He has been mentioned previously on the forum. |

Michael, the man helped President Lincoln in more than one way, and diplomacy was one of the ways.

RE: Who is this person?
OK. Was he at anytime in his life a lawyer? A journalist? Or in the military?

RE: Who is this person?
Congratulations, Steve! This was a tough one. Yes, it is the man best known as Abraham Lincoln's foot doctor. He did other things for Lincoln, too.
On September 22, 1862, Lincoln wrote, "Dr. Zacharie has operated on my feet with great success, and considerable addition to my comfort." Here are some links which discuss Zacharie. http://www.jewishworldreview.com/herb/ge...s_day.php3 https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/isachar-zacharie http://strangeside.com/lincolns-chiropod...-zacharie/ |

RE: Who is this person?
I don't think I've posted this before, but who is this Lincoln personality?
