Thanks for the link. There are so many wonderful posts from the past it's hard to remember all of them, and where they are.

What person was described as such?

"He knew much about the cost of things, the details of trade, the principles of mechanics, and the habits of animals, all of which showed the activity of his mind and the odd turn of his thoughts."

Hint #1: The correct answer has been mentioned many times on this forum.

Denton Offutt ?

William Berry?

Nope, it was not Offutt or Berry.

Edwin Stanton for his ability to master the logistics of the war department?

Ok. I'll go for the obvious (to me). He fits most of those.
Abraham Lincoln

Nope, it was not Stanton or Lincoln.

Salmon Chase?

Nope, it wasn't Chase.

Hint #1.5: Maybe think a little outside the box on this one.

Benjamin Franklin

Nope, it wasn't Franklin.
