Tuberculosis ?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 07-08-2023
Dr. Steers believes she died from Brucellosis. I think he is correct.
Best
Rob
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-08-2023
Logical guess, Michael, but Rob is correct. Dr. Steers believes she died from brucellosis.
For those curious about Dr. Steers' reasoning please go here.

Thanks for the link. There are so many wonderful posts from the past it's hard to remember all of them, and where they are.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-09-2023
What person was described as such?
"He knew much about the cost of things, the details of trade, the principles of mechanics, and the habits of animals, all of which showed the activity of his mind and the odd turn of his thoughts."
Hint #1: The correct answer has been mentioned many times on this forum.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 07-09-2023
Denton Offutt ?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 07-09-2023
William Berry?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-09-2023
Nope, it was not Offutt or Berry.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 07-09-2023
Edwin Stanton for his ability to master the logistics of the war department?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 07-09-2023
Ok. I'll go for the obvious (to me). He fits most of those.
Abraham Lincoln
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-10-2023
Nope, it was not Stanton or Lincoln.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Juan Marrero - 07-10-2023
Salmon Chase?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-10-2023
Nope, it wasn't Chase.
Hint #1.5: Maybe think a little outside the box on this one.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - David Lockmiller - 07-10-2023
Benjamin Franklin
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-10-2023
Nope, it wasn't Franklin.
