RE: Who Said This?
How about Vinnie Ream?

RE: Who Said This?
Kudos, Gene! Anna Surratt it is. On April 28, 1865, Anna was being questioned by Colonel John A. Foster. She was asked if Lewis Powell were a handsome fellow. She responded, "I would not know - I have not seen any remarkably handsome men since I have been in Washington. I didn't like him."

RE: Who Said This?
Please, no googling.
Who said the following regarding Abraham Lincoln's Second Inauguration? "I felt then that there was murder in the air, and I kept close to his carriage on the way to the Capitol, for I felt that I might see him fall that day." |

RE: Who Said This?
Interesting that he says "felt" instead of "feared"
I'll guess someone in his cabinet. Since he kept an extensive diary, Gideon Welles ? So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
