RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 04-07-2019
One month?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-07-2019
Steve, if you were closer you'd be a winner, but I am afraid your guess is not close enough.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 04-07-2019
Two months?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 04-07-2019
Four months?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Joe Di Cola - 04-07-2019
Approximately 16 months.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-07-2019
Kudos, Joe! That's it.
Things were different in those days. Lincoln was elected to the 30th Congress on August 3, 1846. The 30th Congress convened at noon on December 6, 1847. On that day Lincoln voted for Robert C. Winthrop (of Massachusetts) for Speaker, and Winthrop was elected on the third ballot.

Walt Whitman?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-12-2019
Nope, Roger, it was not Walt Whitman.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - GustD45 - 04-12-2019
Was it General George B. Mclellan(sic)?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-12-2019
Nope, Gust, it was not General McClellan.

Two instances come to mind from what I'm reading (one word is not clear - "stationed?"): Could this describe Lincoln's First Inaugural protection? Or, does it describe the amount of soldiers who were billeted within the Capitol itself during the first days of the war in preparation for the assault that they were sure would come from the Confederates?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-12-2019
Nope, Mike, it's not Rose Greenhow.
And, Laurie, I think the latter of your two observations. (Yes, "stationed" is correct)

Ward Hill Lamon ?
