Clayton Moore?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 12-30-2024 08:12 AM
Sorry Joe, but it isn't Moore.
Although he was born in Massachusetts he was best known for western roles.

Next clue. He got his distinctive voice after being gassed in World War I.

Walter Brennan?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 12-30-2024 01:52 PM
I figured a California person would get it!
Yes, Anita, it was Walter Brennan. For the life of me, I can't imagine Brennan playing Lincoln.

Please try to answer without googling.
This event happened in Abraham Lincoln's lifetime. What is it?

The murder of Elijah Lovejoy by a proslavery mob.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-19-2025 04:00 AM
Excellent, Steve! Yes, the image depicts the mob attacking the warehouse in Alton, Illinois, where Elijah Lovejoy's printing press was stored. The event happened on November 7, 1837. Lovejoy was a minister and abolitionist newspaper editor, and he was shot and killed by a pro-slavery mob which attacked the warehouse and destroyed the printing press. Abraham Lincoln was critical of mob violence in his 1838 Lyceum Address.

No googling, please.
Abraham Lincoln did this at least nine times, leading all other presidents. What did he do?

Visit troops in the field?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 02-15-2025 09:14 PM
Good guess, Steve, but that's not it.

Visit hospitals?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 02-16-2025 08:25 AM
Another good guess, Roger, but incorrect. According to my source for this question, what Lincoln did wouldn't have the same effect as it did in his time.

I had a guess that I wasn't sure it was right, so I googled it to check. I was wrong, but what I found out was interesting to me, so I thought I'd share it with you.
(How many times did Lincoln quote from the Bible in his public speeches?)
ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS was delivered on March 4, 1865, to a nation convulsed in the dying gasps of the Civil War. To the surprise of his audience, in only 701 words, Lincoln mentioned God 14 times, quoted Scripture four times, and invoked prayer three times.
