Fleetwood Lindsay's father--the boy would be the last surviving person who looked on the face of Lincoln.

Right, Joe! I thought that might be a hard question, and it lasted all of 10 minutes. Indeed it was Joseph P. Lindley.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 12-31-2012 09:27 AM
Does anybody know what "first" took place during the presidency of James Buchanan?

He was the first unmarried President, but I bet you are looking for something else.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 12-31-2012 10:03 AM
Good answer. But, I actually had something else in mind. It had something to do with his inaugural.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Laurie Verge - 12-31-2012 10:06 AM
I'm lousy at these trivia questions, but I think I might know the answer to this one -- was Buchanan's Inauguration the first to be photographed?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 12-31-2012 10:20 AM
Yes, Laurel!! You're right. The only prize I can offer you is the satisfaction of having the right answer. Sorry. lol
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Laurie Verge - 12-31-2012 12:13 PM
Satisfaction is all I need since trivia questions are my downfall!

Well, here I am with Mr. Lincoln-as you can see. What year was the photo of A.L. taken? Where?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 01-03-2013 07:07 PM
Based upon your avitar, I'll say 12 years ago in Ft Wayne IN
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 01-03-2013 07:33 PM
No, what I meant was: the picture of Lincoln-when was his picture taken-and where?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - BettyO - 01-03-2013 07:53 PM
Wasn't that photo taken during the Lincoln/Douglas debates? By the way, great photo, Bill!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - JMadonna - 01-03-2013 08:41 PM
BTW - Buchanan was also the first president-elect to survive an assassination attempt (poison at the National Hotel).
Here's a question that I don't know the answer to:
The arched entryways of Ford's theater are whitewashed white. What was the original color of the brick on the night of the assassination?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 01-03-2013 08:55 PM
This was taken a few days after, so I'm going to assume it was always white. I know the roof joists were exposed and unfinished at the time, (As can be seen in the photo), but I wonder, with all the mud, why they would paint the archways white?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - JMadonna - 01-03-2013 09:41 PM
That's what I thought but I googled 'postcard Fords theater' and found that at some point the arches were the same color as the brick. I guess the cards were touched up because the same picture shows the building in a yellow-brown brick and a red brick.
Got to assume that your picture with the black bunting was taken during the mourning period for Lincoln. Guess that resolves it.
