RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 04-08-2024
Information, data, from one part of the country was prevented from getting to Washington for 5 hours due to ...?
OK.... Especially in the early days of information Technology... why was data sometimes not received from one location for several hours?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 04-08-2024
Something that seemed very important to Lincoln occurred on October 31, 1864
One of Roger's attempts is directly related to that event on 31 October 1864
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 04-08-2024
the event had some long term influence on Washington DC (obviously) ... but primarily it happened on the other side of the US
(Googling is fine by me)
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-08-2024
I am totally "lost." Wild guess - earthquake?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 04-08-2024
Nope, Roger. But thanks for sticking with me.
Googling a timeline might help ( though possibly my previous searches could influence what I, as opposed to another person, might see)
What you've found so far ...
The election was a major factor relating to the answer.
What, apart from the votes of ordinary citizens, is the determining factor in a Presidential election in the USA?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 04-08-2024
The telegraph was down because the constitution of Nevada was being transmitted by telegraph so that Lincoln would get the state's three electoral votes. It was, according to a history of Nevada, the longest and costliest transmission over the telegraph wires.

Rob, you win the cigar. Well done.

The issue about the weather (Gene mentioned) ? ... "Two out of three of its votes from the electoral college were cast for Lincoln. (The third voter got stuck in a snowstorm.) "
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2024
In 1862 Abraham Lincoln sprained his wrist in checking his run-away horse as he rode from the Soldiers' Home to the White House. Nearly two weeks later the wrist was still so sore that he sought treatment from a doctor. What was the doctor's name?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 04-09-2024
Roger,
Is using Google allowed?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2024
Rob, yes.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 04-09-2024
Dr. Zacharie, I believe?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-10-2024
Very good, Michael - indeed he went to Dr. Issachar Zacharie, a chiropodist. We have discussed him before on this forum. Lincoln sprained his wrist on September 13, 1862, and he saw Dr. Zacharie about the sprain on September 25, 1862.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-04-2024
No googling please.
Who is this lady?

Roger,
I don't see an image on my phone.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-04-2024
I am not sure why, Rob. It's an ordinary .jpg image that shows normally on my computer. I checked it in 3 browsers.
