Lincoln Discussion Symposium

Who is this fellow?

Either Benn Pittman or Perley Poore - I think it's Poore -

Wow - that didn't last long - asked at 5:04 A.M. and answered at 5:49 A.M. It is Poore, Betty. Good job!

I admit that I'd seen that photo before....had to stop and think where....!

Thanks, Roger!

I think this one should be challenging. Who is this fellow?

Hint #1: After Booth shot Lincoln this gentleman made stops at Ford's Theatre, the Seward home, and the White House.

A beardless Gideon Welles?

Nope, not him, Joe.

Hint #2: He was the "middleman" on something.

Hint #3: He is in Ed Steers' encyclopedia but a different photo is used.

I had to pull out my encyclopedia, and then I gave our man of mystery the ol' yahoo to see if I got it right.
Great trivia questin Roger.

If you don't have Ed Steers Encyclopedia, it is very reasonably priced on Amazon, and also available through the Surratt House Museum.

I agree, Gene!

Ed's book is priceless -

Hint #4: He testified at the conspiracy trial.
