RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 05-05-2021
Was it a writer or journalist?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-05-2021
Although he did some writing, he was not known as a writer or journalist.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 05-05-2021
Someone who was a VIP back then (known to the public)?

He became known to the public only in the weeks and months after the Lincoln administration.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 05-06-2021

He was a church-goer but did not become known for religious reasons. He became known for other reasons.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 05-06-2021
Was his "fame" related to the assassination or Abraham Lincoln at all? (Would he not have become famous "without"?)
Another question - was he a politician? Or somehow involved in the reconstruction?
