It's Orlando Valentine Flora, the person who, it was claimed by his daughter, bought the photograph identified as Thomas Lincoln. I just read Michael Lynch's article and saw the photograph there.

Very good, Steve! You are absolutely correct.


RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 07-16-2019 09:26 PM

Roger, this photo was cropped in the article, where did you find the complete image of the photograph?


RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-17-2019 03:53 AM

Steve, go here.


RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 07-17-2019 10:30 AM

Thanks.

What person said Lincoln had more of a woman's heart than a man's heart?


RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-04-2019 02:13 PM

Hint #1: This person knew Lincoln during the pre-presidential years.

Hint #1.5: This person has been previously mentioned on this forum.

Herndon?


RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-04-2019 03:27 PM

Good guess, Eva, but it was not Herndon. The correct answer is much lesser-known in the Lincoln saga than Herndon.


RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 08-04-2019 04:23 PM

Either Eliza Browning or Hannah Armstrong?

Best
Rob


RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-04-2019 04:52 PM

Logical guesses, Rob, but incorrect.


RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 08-04-2019 07:00 PM

Is it somebody from New Salem?

Elizabeth Abell, perhaps?


RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-05-2019 12:27 AM

I rather guess male/Springfield years/fellow lawyer?


RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-05-2019 03:54 AM

Steve, no it is not a person from the New Salem years.

Eva, yes, the person is male and knew Lincoln from the Springfield years. Herndon would have known this person, too.

John Todd Stuart?
