Yes. In 1799 Abigail Adams wrote a letter to her friend, Elizabeth Shaw Peabody. She included the above-mentioned-quote in the letter.

Here is a photo of a First Lady and her pet raccoon. Who is she?

Grace Coolidge?

RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-15-2013
That question did not last long - you are correct, Rob. The raccoon was named Rebecca.
RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - LincolnMan - 01-15-2013
I'm still wondering if we know why Mrs. Tuuman had a strong dislike of Lincoln. There must be a story there!
RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 01-15-2013
She was from the guerilla war area of Missouri, where Quantrill's raiders and Jesse James operated.
The Union army was not to kind to southern sympathisers in this area.
RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - LincolnMan - 01-15-2013
Okay. Well, that's understandable!
RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rob Wick - 01-15-2013
Which president established the first United States National Park?

RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rogerm - 01-16-2013
Was it Theodore Roosevelt?
RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Bill Richter - 01-16-2013
US Grant
RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rob Wick - 01-16-2013
Bill got it. It was Grant. I would have said Teddy Roosevelt myself, but Grant signed the legislation in 1872 that made Yellowstone the first.
Bill wins a free pass to agree with me on the topic of his choice with no comment from me.

Be still my heart! Thanks, Rob!!
RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-16-2013
It was said that this dog was known for his habit of lying motionless for hours with one eye closed and the other one open. Which president owned the dog?

RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-16-2013
Hint #1: This sketch of the president's dog first appeared in Frank Leslie's newspaper.
RE: New Topic - Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-16-2013
Hint #2: In most presidential ratings' polls I've seen this president is usually rated quite low.
