Thurlow Weed?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-12-2020 05:46 AM
Nope, not Thurlow Weed.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Dennis Urban - 10-12-2020 06:50 AM
I am going to guess Henry Ford. Writing does not read like mid-1800s to me.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 10-12-2020 07:12 AM
Was the quote taken from John D. Rockefeller?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-12-2020 07:23 AM
Nope, it's not Ford or Rockefeller.
Hint #2: I think the name will be familiar to all forum members.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - mbgross - 10-12-2020 07:48 AM
Leo Tolstoy?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 10-12-2020 08:44 AM
Is it Henry J. Raymond?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-12-2020 08:50 AM
Nope, it's not Tolstoy or Raymond.
Hint #3: The person has been mentioned several times on this forum.
Hint #4: The person is male.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 10-12-2020 09:26 AM
Reading the quote it strikes me as something written by someone who wrote for a living. My first thought was Whitman, but you said it wasn't him, so I thought maybe Raymond. How about George Townsend?

Nope, not Gath.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 10-12-2020 10:51 AM
Well I'm stumped then. Roger, was he a contemporary of Lincoln or did he live after him?

Rob, he was a contemporary of Lincoln.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 10-12-2020 12:51 PM
Was he a man of the cloth? clergyman? (I couldn't think of the word for a minute there!)
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-12-2020 01:08 PM
Nope, not a clergyman.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 10-12-2020 01:37 PM
Someone who was well-known in his profession, not a clergyman, was a contemporary of Lincoln and has made many appearances here on the forum. Well, if my theory of it being a writer is correct, the only other person I can think of is Horace Greeley, but that sure doesn't sound like anything Greeley would have said about Lincoln, but that will be my guess.
