Lincoln Discussion Symposium

No, Roger. He was not known for his writing; he was known for something else.

Charles Dwight Hess?

Best
Rob

Good try, Rob, but it's not C.D. Hess.

Hint #2: A different photo of this man was once posted on this forum.

Was he an actor?

William Withers?

Eva, he was not an actor.

Dave, it's not Withers.

Hint #3: While his most famous accomplishment is Lincoln-related, he is known for many other accomplishments as well.

Did he design a garden ?

Am I assuming correctly that Lincoln and the gentleman were contemporaries? Did Lincoln know of the gentleman (due to the gentleman's accomplishments)?

Michael, yes he did.

Eva, this man was born before Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, but Lincoln never knew him or his accomplishments.

Walter Travis?

Michael, it's not Walter Travis.

Hint #4: Although he did design a garden that was not his claim to fame.

Gutzon Borglum?

Not him, but you are on the right track, Eva.

Daniel Chester French?
