sorry, Roger It was wild ... and wrong. But good idea thinking outside the oblong/square (not a clue).

Does the logo on the hat have anything to do with the answer?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 03-07-2024 12:45 PM
Does it have anything to do with Austin Golloher and Lincoln climbing a tree?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-07-2024 03:00 PM
No, Gene ... the logo is irrelevant. And nothing to do with Austin Golloher ( a name which I once thought of in a trivial quiz ... and was wrong too)
Hint : Lincoln was the only President to have done this. The images relate to someone else that was the first to do the same thing.
There's a connection with Today.
I'm in Australia.

They both created a patent?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-07-2024 04:01 PM
Superb ... and you must have done it without googling. Yes , a patent. The first woman.
Its International Women's Day (8th March here).

Mary Kies "Her patent, issued May 5, 1809, was for a process for weaving straw with silk that was adopted by the New England hat-making industry" ( I see it says "silk" but the issue of "straw hat" seems most relevant)
1809 ... Lincoln's BirthDate. And of course he is the only President to have a patent.

I think I could have dragged that one out a bit longer .... any way, before Gene gets in, reminds me of a song

John Wally of Deposit, Broome County, New York., a veteran of the Civil War, was once interviewed about his experiences during and after the war. He touched briefly on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Whom did John Wally say was holding Booth's horse in Baptist Alley while Booth was inside Ford's Theatre shooting the President?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 03-22-2024 10:02 AM
Spangler ?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-22-2024 10:48 AM
That is an extremely logical guess, Gene, but John Wally said it was someone else.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-22-2024 03:44 PM
John Parker?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-22-2024 04:07 PM
Good guess, Michael, but it was not Parker.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 03-22-2024 04:36 PM
James P Ferguson ?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-22-2024 05:44 PM
Nope, it wasn't James P. Ferguson.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 03-22-2024 07:10 PM
I didn't see anything prohibiting the use of Google, so I was able to find the article online. I can't believe he thought Mary Surratt was holding the horse.
Best
