RE: Extra Credit Questions - David Lockmiller - 03-14-2023
(03-14-2023, 12:33 PM)RJNorton Wrote: Excellent, David! Yes, it was his sister, Sarah. I was a little surprised when I read this as I often think of a young Abraham Lincoln who is shy around the girls.
Details of the story here by Roger Norton. See about half-way down the page.
With a new mother in the home Sarah and Abraham were able to attend school for brief periods. During the winter of 1820 they attended a school taught by Andrew Crawford. In 1822 Sarah and Abraham walked four miles to attend a school taught by James Swaney. In 1824 the Lincoln children attended a school taught by Azel Dorsey. Sarah continued to look after her younger brother. Elizabeth Crawford, who had hired Sarah to work in her home in 1825, told the following story to William Herndon:
Abe Lincoln was one day bothering the girls — his sister & others playing yonder and his Sister Scolded him — Saying Abe you ought to be ashamed of yourself — what do you Expect will become of you? "Be Presdt of the U.S," promptly responded Abe.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Wild Bill - 03-21-2023
Willie Lincoln
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-21-2023
Good guess, but it is not a Lincoln. It is the son of a person who knew Lincoln.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Susan Higginbotham - 03-21-2023
One of the Seward boys?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-21-2023
Nope, but you're on the right track.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 03-21-2023
The son of a Lincoln Cabinet member?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - mbgross - 03-21-2023
Bud Taft?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-22-2023
Mike, it's not Bud Taft. Anita, yes, it is the son of a Cabinet member.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-22-2023
John Bates?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-22-2023
Nope, not Bates.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - David Lockmiller - 03-22-2023
Stanton?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-22-2023
Excellent, David! The entire picture is here.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-26-2023
No googling please.
In 1866 a person termed Lincoln as "the greatest character since Christ."
This person has been mentioned many times on this forum. Who was it?
