Hint #3: He worried about a security issue.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-07-2014
Hint #4: He worried about Abraham Lincoln's security on the way to the first inauguration.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 03-07-2014
Samuel M. Felton?

RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-07-2014
Very good, Roger, that is correct! Thanks for guessing again. This is the book Gene recommended (thanks, Gene!):

This lady was allegedly the first to approach and warn Felton about a possible plot in Baltimore. Who is she?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 03-09-2014
Kate Warne?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-09-2014
Good guess, Roger, but it's not Kate Warne.
Hint #1: Almost exactly one year later, Abraham Lincoln consulted her in a family matter.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-09-2014
Hint #2: A. Lincoln seeked her advice after Willie's death.
RE: Who is this person? - L Verge - 03-09-2014
I don't know about the Baltimore Plot warning or assistance to Mr Lincoln, but the photo is of Dorothea Dix.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-09-2014
Brilliant, Laurie. During the CW, she was Superintendent of Army Nurses, and A. Lincoln asked her to recommend a nurse to care for Tad. Her advice was to employ Rebecca Pomroy.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-12-2014
Two further recent posts made me think of this gentleman. Who is he?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 03-12-2014
King Mongkut (Siam).
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-12-2014
Sorry for delay. Kudos, Roger, INCREDIBLE! I thought this one would need a while!
When reading about the many horses and mules that served and died in the CW, I was reminded of Hannibal's elephants ("only" about 40 though) in the Second Punic War that died from the cold weather when crossing the Alps, and thought that Hannibal would probably not have rejected the King of Siam's present.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 03-21-2014
Who is this man?
Hint #1: His name usually appears in books because of a book, but he was not an author.
