Lincoln Discussion Symposium

No googling please.

Historians feel this is a sketch of a cabin where someone who has been discussed on this forum lived. What is the person's name?

Thomas Lincoln?

That is a logical answer, Rob, but incorrect.

Roger,

I suspect I am overthinking this one. Could it be Abraham?

Both of your answers are on the right track, Rob, but you do not have the right person.

Teacher ? Mentor Graham?

Nope, not Mentor Graham, Michael. It was not someone from Sangamon County.

Sarah Bush Johnston, or someone related to the Johnston family, before Sarah remarried to Thomas Lincoln?

Excellent, Steve. That is correct. It is Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln's cabin in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.

Thanks Roger, do you have any info on the sketch ( source, artist, date) ?

I do not, Gene. The image (labeled) was in some old files I have but without information on the artist, etc. I will see if I can find something.

Her Elizabethtown cabin has been recreated and is open to the public.

I assume you have guessed the hand on the left is Lincoln's

A younger Walt Whitman than is normally seen in images?

No, Roger but I see why you say that.
Although not a photo it is almost as good as.
If you can guess why the man is pointing... it would assist.
