Lincoln Discussion Symposium

Thanks Roger.

He definitely has Native American features, and I remember Mike's question, so I put two and two together.

This person has no direct connection to Lincoln, but one of his relatives does. Who is he?

Wild guess --> Elliott Herndon (William Herndon's brother)?

Good guess Roger, but that's not it.

The connection was during the Civil War years.

Rob

Clue: He and his relative joined the service at the same time.

Rob

Are Mary Lincoln's family members involved in the answer?

Was he involved in the capture of Booth?

Roger,
He has no connection to Mary

Mike,
There is a connection to Booth.

Rob

Omar Conger?

No, it isn't Omar Roger.

Rob

Next clue:

The man pictured was killed in battle in 1864.

Rob

Roger was on the right track. It isn't Omar Conger, but rather is Everton Conger's other brother, Seymour B. Conger.

Mike gets a half point for figuring out the question involved Booth.

Best
Rob

This is a statue of Abraham Lincoln along with a statue of another man. Who is the other man?

I know this isn't even close, but I'll take a stab in the dark and say Jefferson Davis.

Best
Rob

I am sorry, Rob, but it's not Davis.

Stephen Douglas?
