No googling please.
Historians feel this is a sketch of a cabin where someone who has been discussed on this forum lived. What is the person's name?

Thomas Lincoln?

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-21-2023 12:15 PM
That is a logical answer, Rob, but incorrect.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-21-2023 03:39 PM
Roger,
I suspect I am overthinking this one. Could it be Abraham?
Best
Rob
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-21-2023 03:44 PM
Both of your answers are on the right track, Rob, but you do not have the right person.

Teacher ? Mentor Graham?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-21-2023 06:31 PM
Nope, not Mentor Graham, Michael. It was not someone from Sangamon County.
RE: Who is this person? - Steve - 12-21-2023 09:34 PM
Sarah Bush Johnston, or someone related to the Johnston family, before Sarah remarried to Thomas Lincoln?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-22-2023 06:11 AM
Excellent, Steve. That is correct. It is Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln's cabin in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.

Thanks Roger, do you have any info on the sketch ( source, artist, date) ?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-22-2023 12:04 PM
I do not, Gene. The image (labeled) was in some old files I have but without information on the artist, etc. I will see if I can find something.
Her Elizabethtown cabin has been recreated and is open to the public.

I assume you have guessed the hand on the left is Lincoln's
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 02-14-2024 03:15 PM
A younger Walt Whitman than is normally seen in images?
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 02-14-2024 03:22 PM
No, Roger but I see why you say that.
Although not a photo it is almost as good as.
If you can guess why the man is pointing... it would assist.
