Belle Boyd?

Both are excellent and obvious choices, but Gene got it right away.
RE: Who is this lady? - RJNorton - 11-24-2017
This lady has been mentioned on the forum. Who is she?

The pic is very small and a little blurred, so I am guessing Ida Tarbell.
RE: Who is this lady? - RJNorton - 11-24-2017
That is a wonderful guess, Joe, and you are on the right track (the lady was a writer), but it's not Ida Tarbell.

Ruth Randall?
RE: Who is this lady? - RJNorton - 11-24-2017
Bingo, Susan! Very good. I really like her books, and I think my favorite is Lincoln's Sons. I think one of the reasons for this is that the book has an index, something that many of her books do not have.
RE: Who is this lady? - Susan Higginbotham - 11-24-2017
Yay, that was a complete guess!
Which lady mentioned on this forum from time to time is being described here?
"Is a young lady in years and appearance, of medium size, pleasant manner, and frank, cordial address,
not petite, yet handsome, and withal a woman of attractive social qualities."
RE: Who is this lady? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-24-2017
Mary Lincoln?
Or Nancy Hanks?
RE: Who is this lady? - Susan Higginbotham - 11-24-2017
No, but with Mary Lincoln you're getting close.
RE: Who is this lady? - RJNorton - 11-24-2017
Mercy Levering Conkling?
RE: Who is this lady? - Susan Higginbotham - 11-24-2017
Sorry, no! Hint: the description is from 1863.
RE: Who is this lady? - RJNorton - 11-24-2017
Kate Chase? or Lucy Hale?
RE: Who is this lady? - Susan Higginbotham - 11-24-2017
Nope! No connection to Booth.
