Lincoln Discussion Symposium

Dare I guess Dr. Squibb? The book had no picture of him, and I didn't go searching.

Thanks for the compliment about the article. Each essay in that book is very well-written and easy to relate.

Logical guess Laurie but it's not him. Here are photos of Dr. Squibb.

George D. Rosengarten?

Good try Roger, but you'll need to guess again.

Hint- He's related to a Civil War general.

Oops - I do remember seeing the photo of the older Dr. Squibb...

Can you us give a hint - is the relationship that of a brother? son? father? etc.

Okay Roger. Here's your hint.

He's the father of a very famous Civil War general.

Jesse Root Grant?

Yes Eva, it is Jesse Root Grant, father of Ulysses S. Grant. Your prize, a tour of Jesse's tannery in Port Pleasant, Ohio.

Jesse was quite a character. "When Ulysses went on to the White House, Jesse visited often. Newspaper reporters found him eager to comment on the business of the day. Jesse had always loved politics. In his younger days, he had written for an abolitionist newspaper and even served a term as mayor of Georgetown. But his son Ulysses did not always feel so happy about his father's comments, which probably continued until he died in 1873, at the age of 79."

William Mumler?

I'm sorry, it's not William Mumler, but you are on a very good track! He was indeed one of Mary's "special friends".

How about Henry Wikoff?

A young Benjamin French?

Lord Colchester?
