I read a little more on Pemberton and was surprised to find that the war had left him addicted to morphine, hence his interest in kola nut and coca leaves "refreshments?" His son, Charley, died of a morphine overdose - a century before the addiction problems caused by the Vietnam War.

The Union veteran was James Vernor, who had experimented with ginger ale before the war and came home to continue his improvements.
This took a bit of searching, Bill, but interesting question!

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 08-24-2016
Regarding John S. Pemberton and Coca Cola

RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 08-24-2016
Yes- James Vernor! He is buried here in Detroit. He has a simple grave stone- nothing fancy. Love his beverage!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-25-2016
What is this man's name?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 08-25-2016
George, who happened to be a dog lover and usually had one or more with him during his army days.
The story is told that before his final battle, he tried to get his wife to take his dogs with her when she returned to the base camp.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-25-2016
Neat - I didn't know that, Gene!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-25-2016
Kudos, Gene. It is George Custer. The photo was taken May 20, 1862.
I posted this in honor of National Dog Day which is tomorrow.
Gene, you and Fido win a wonderful National Dog Day.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 08-25-2016
Hot Dog!
(It's supposed sunny and 92 tomorrow)
Sounds like a good reason to celebrate with ICE CREAM !!!!!!!!!!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 08-25-2016
Here is an easy one: "Ever thus to deadbeats, Lebowski."
This is a movie quote from what movie?
It is an oblique reference to what quote concerning the Lincoln assassination?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 08-25-2016
Don't know the movie, but it is harkening back to Sic Semper Tyrannis, Thus ever to tyrants.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 08-25-2016
Laurie: correct!
Now what movie???
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 08-25-2016
"The Big Lebowski"
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 08-25-2016
Yes! Great going! "The Dude abides."
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-07-2016
Knox College conferred on Abraham Lincoln an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws on July 3, 1860.
In 1861 Columbia University did the same.
In 1864 what additional college gave an honorary Doctor of Laws degree to President Lincoln?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 09-07-2016
Princeton?
