Belle Boyd?

Both are excellent and obvious choices, but Gene got it right away.

This lady has been mentioned on the forum. Who is she?

The pic is very small and a little blurred, so I am guessing Ida Tarbell.

RJNorton · 11-24-2017, 08:56 AM

That is a wonderful guess, Joe, and you are on the right track (the lady was a writer), but it's not Ida Tarbell.

Ruth Randall?

Bingo, Susan! Very good. I really like her books, and I think my favorite is Lincoln's Sons. I think one of the reasons for this is that the book has an index, something that many of her books do not have.

Yay, that was a complete guess!

Which lady mentioned on this forum from time to time is being described here?

"Is a young lady in years and appearance, of medium size, pleasant manner, and frank, cordial address,
not petite, yet handsome, and withal a woman of attractive social qualities."

Mary Lincoln?

Or Nancy Hanks?

Susan Higginbotham · 11-24-2017, 02:35 PM

No, but with Mary Lincoln you're getting close.

RJNorton · 11-24-2017, 02:47 PM

Mercy Levering Conkling?

Susan Higginbotham · 11-24-2017, 04:36 PM

Sorry, no! Hint: the description is from 1863.

RJNorton · 11-24-2017, 04:46 PM

Kate Chase? or Lucy Hale?

Susan Higginbotham · 11-24-2017, 05:25 PM

Nope! No connection to Booth.
