No, he definitely did not!
Hint #1: Abraham Lincoln never visited the state where the home is located.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 09-17-2017 05:36 AM
Hint #2: Instead the person visited and met Lincoln which is a famous "story".
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-17-2017 05:53 AM
Could it be on the plantation where Frederick Douglass was born?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 09-17-2017 07:44 AM
Another good guess, Roger, but not correct.
Hint #3: A quote uttered during the visit has been discussed on the forum.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-17-2017 08:12 AM
OK, then my next guess is that it has to do with Harriet Beecher Stowe. But I do not know where she lived.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 09-17-2017 10:11 AM
I know I've seen this photo before....
Is it down South? A Civil War Offficer's home maybe?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 09-17-2017 11:58 AM
Outstanding, Roger - and correct. It is (was) one of Harriet Beecher Stowe's homes. Now - where is it? Joe, it is not in the south!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Susan Higginbotham - 09-17-2017 12:00 PM
Hartford, CT? Near Mark Twain's house, I believe.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 09-17-2017 12:07 PM
Good guess, Susan, but not correct. For Joe (who asked for a "Stump the German" task):
Hint #4: The German name of the landmark is Braunschweig.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 09-17-2017 12:10 PM
Brunswick, Maine where she lived when her husband Calvin was a professor at Bowdoin College.

My favorite German delicacy.

This one's for Roger but open to all.
A major weather event threatened to capsize a critically important strategic campaign secretly authorized by Lincoln, Seward and his advisors. Describe the weather event and the campaign.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-17-2017 03:40 PM
My mind is initially blank - hopefully someone will know.
Very wild guess - does it involve either Issachar Zacharie or Ulrich Dahlgren?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 09-17-2017 04:19 PM
The early November 1861 hurricane that nearly sank the large Naval fleet that would soon participate in the Battle of Port Royal.
