RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 06-26-2015
(06-26-2015, 03:57 PM)RJNorton Wrote: Congratulations, Anita! Indeed it was Robert Lincoln. Prior to going to Abel Wilder Estabrook's school he attended what was referred to as a "Slipper School." Robert recalled, "I have a dim recollection of being under the slipper-guardianship of a school mistress until 1850."
SOURCE: Lincoln's Springfield Neighborhood by Bonnie E. Paull and Richard E. Hart with a Forward by Dr. Wayne Temple. This book was recommended to me by Joe Di Cola, and I agree with Joe - excellent book.
I cannot think of an appropriate prize for this, so I simply shall wish you a wonderful weekend.
Thanks Roger for the prize. One can never go wrong with a wonderful weekend and so I wish you the same.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-26-2015
Yes, Roger's prizes are always classy and of high value (while I would probably have issued something silly like this pair of harmless slippers:
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Jim Page - 06-26-2015
Eva, those slippers might be a tad silly, but these I got for my wife were a big hit:

Of course, they are also a hit with our Murphy, who thinks they are his little brothers:

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-27-2015
That's really cool, Jim!!!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-27-2015
Jim, I second Eva! Nice!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 07-12-2015
If Lincoln is The Emancipator, who is known as The Liberator?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-12-2015
The person was in the textbook I used when I was teaching - Simón Bolívar.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 07-12-2015
Then maybe there are two who carry that sobriquet. I'm actually seeking another Liberator.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 07-12-2015
Grant - because of the prisoner exchange?
I seem to link the title to Frederick Douglass though.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 07-12-2015
Logical guess, Eva, but think outside of the U.S.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 07-12-2015
Garibaldi?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 07-12-2015
Are you referring to William Lloyd Garrison and his abolitionist newspaper "The Liberator"?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 07-13-2015
And Obama entitled Mandela likewise.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 07-13-2015
The person that I am thinking of carried on a correspondence with Mr. Lincoln during the Civil War.
