RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 11-29-2023
He failed to achieve what he wanted ... to break America's attachment to the Washingtonian principle of neutrality and nonintervention.
He was a "champion of liberty," but declined to be dragged into the slavery controversy.
During his visit to the USA there was a type of trousers named after him, a hat, a beard. And even oysters.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 11-29-2023
He came from a European country that was fighting for its freedom.
104 years after his USA visit, his country again fought for its independence and freedom. There's a connection here to Melbourne, "Blood in the Water" .
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 11-29-2023
His country's connection ("Blood in the water") to Melbourne? 67 years ago.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 11-29-2023
Does it have to do with Giuseppe Garibaldi?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 11-29-2023
Kossuth?

Rob
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 11-29-2023
Not Garibaldi, Roger .... Rob got it. Well done.
Kossuth it was indeed.
My last clue referred to the 1956 Olympics where Russia and Hungary had a very vigorous water polo match.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 12-06-2023
No googling please.
Can you tell a man's profession by looking at his face? This man was a resident of Springfield during the years the Lincolns lived there. What was his profession?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 12-06-2023
Not by just looking at his face, but his entire head, I would guess he's a Phrenologist

(Article by Joanna Cowen)
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 12-06-2023
Nope, not a phrenologist.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 12-06-2023
With the beard he beard a striking resemblance to Rollo Diller, so I will guess pharmacist.

Rob
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 12-06-2023
Nope, not a pharmacist.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - David Lockmiller - 12-06-2023
A barber.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 12-06-2023
Nope, not a barber.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 12-06-2023
Preacher?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 12-06-2023
That's Ebenezer Norton. He started the first Lincoln Research site shortly after the President's death in 1865.
