I suppose his odds of surviving would have been minimal given he was an adult male. Roger, what prizes do we have left in our treasure chest?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 11-25-2012
Yes, Bill, we have a free dinner for Linda at the Wok and Roll Restaurant. Jim Page won the other one on Friday. The free dinners there are now gone.

That's great, Roger! I hope the free dinner will still be available in March.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 11-25-2012
Thanks Roger! Linda you're so lucky!

When Lincoln ran for the House of Representatives a group of Whigs collected $200 for his campaign fund.
How much of the $200 did Lincoln spend? How much was returned to his supporters?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 11-29-2012
All but seventy-five cents was returned! He spent $199.25, if my math is correct.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 11-29-2012
Kudos, Bill. He returned $199.25 to his Whig supporters.
You win one barrel of cider!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 11-29-2012
Would that be hard cider?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 11-29-2012
I am sorry, Bill. Apple cider.

From the current issue of Civil War Times:
"Civil War brews not only adjusted attitudes, but also helped fund the war through a dollar-a-keg excise tax. A levy on beer, spirits, tobacco, and other items-as well as the nation's first federal income tax-were created by President Lincoln and Congress to finance the war."
In the same article it mentions that one can purchase a beer called "Antietam Ale" on tap at Brewer's Alley in Frederick, Md. It is supposed to taste like what soldiers would have had 150 years ago. A brew called "Proclamation Porter" is scheduled to be released in January.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 12-01-2012
For those of you coming to the Surratt conference in March, Frederick is a little over an hour's drive north of Clinton....
It's a great town, home to a wonderful museum - National Museum of Civil War Medicine - and also close to the Monocacy Battlefield, Antietam, and Gettysburg. You can stock up on history while swigging ale.

This historian and author won a Pulitzer Prize. The photo shows him speaking in 1983. Who is he?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - BettyO - 12-02-2012
OMG - a young Harold Holzer? With Ed Steers in the background? And looks like they are at the McNair Officer's Club.....
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 12-02-2012
Good eyes, Betty! I believe that is Dr. Steers!
However, the speaker is not Harold Holzer.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - BettyO - 12-02-2012
Dr. James McPherson?
