RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-15-2013
Sorry Roger, but it's not Ford.
Second clue: He was a lawyer.
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 12-15-2013
Samuel C. Parks ?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-15-2013
He does bear a resemblance to Parks, but it's not him, Anita.

RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 12-15-2013
Sure not him, wild guess - John T. Stuart with a beard and at old age?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-15-2013
Sorry Eva, but it's not him either.

Clue Three: He was a strong advocate of Frederick Jackson Turner's theory on the American frontier.

Abram Bergen ?

Sorry Anita, it's not him.
Clue Four: Think regionally.

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-16-2013
It doesn't look like Louis A. Warren (at least in the photo I've seen), but I'll guess him anyway.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-16-2013
You are on the right path Roger, but it's not Warren.

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-16-2013
Another guess - Frederick Law Olmsted?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-16-2013
Sorry Roger, it's not Olmstead.
Clue Five: He believed that the character of Lincoln was developed during his family's time in a particular region and devoted his remaining years to doing research to substantiate that claim.

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-16-2013
John E. Iglehart.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-16-2013
You got it Roger. Great job! Iglehart and the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society played a major role in overcoming the "stagnant, putrid pool" and "diamond on the dunghill" theories of Lincoln's Indiana years. Through the group's Lincoln Inquiry (hence the opening "Inquiring minds want to know...), Iglehart and others corresponded with Tarbell, Louis Warren, Sandburg, Turner and Beveridge among others. Keith Erekson's book "Everybody's History" is an account of the Lincoln Inquiry and their efforts.
You win a free swim in the "stagnant, putrid pool" followed by a skin treatment at the Southwestern Indiana Dunghill Resort. Taxes may apply.

RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 12-16-2013
Rob, thanks for the introduction to John E. Iglehart. I will pick up Keith Erekson's book "Everybody's History".
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-16-2013
I think you'll enjoy it, Anita. It's written in such a way that emphasizes both analysis and narrative.
