RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-09-2019
No, Roger. He was not known for his writing; he was known for something else.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 11-09-2019
Charles Dwight Hess?
Best
Rob
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-09-2019
Good try, Rob, but it's not C.D. Hess.
Hint #2: A different photo of this man was once posted on this forum.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-09-2019
Was he an actor?
RE: Who is this person? - Dave Taylor - 11-10-2019
William Withers?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-10-2019
Eva, he was not an actor.
Dave, it's not Withers.
Hint #3: While his most famous accomplishment is Lincoln-related, he is known for many other accomplishments as well.
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 11-10-2019
Did he design a garden ?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-10-2019
Am I assuming correctly that Lincoln and the gentleman were contemporaries? Did Lincoln know of the gentleman (due to the gentleman's accomplishments)?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-10-2019
Michael, yes he did.
Eva, this man was born before Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, but Lincoln never knew him or his accomplishments.
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 11-10-2019
Walter Travis?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-10-2019
Michael, it's not Walter Travis.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-10-2019
Hint #4: Although he did design a garden that was not his claim to fame.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-10-2019
Gutzon Borglum?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-11-2019
Not him, but you are on the right track, Eva.
RE: Who is this person? - Steve - 11-11-2019
Daniel Chester French?
