RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-28-2013
Nope, not him.
Hint #5: This man used a middle initial, but no assassination book (at least that I own) says what the initial stood for (if anything).
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 05-28-2013
Louis J. Weichmann?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-28-2013
Kudos, Betty! That is correct. The claim is on p. 6 of Weichmann's book. He says it happened at a public reception, and he shook hands with Lincoln. It says, Taking my hand in his with a firm, full grasp, his words were, "How do you do, sir? I am glad to see you."
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 05-28-2013
Wow! That was a hard one, Roger! Really hard.....!
RE: Assassination Trivia - Laurie Verge - 05-31-2013
I am posing a "stumper" that should have my Yankee antagonist growing old before his time. I almost posted on the thread that he created, but I decided to be more ladylike. If Yankee Joe gets the correct answer to this one, I will double his score!
On April 10, 1861, the New York Times reported that a package, likely destined for the White House, was received by the Washington City post office. The box had been broken open somewhat, and in the process of inspecting it, the contents fell out. What were the contents?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 05-31-2013
Is it allowed for non-Yankees and non-Southerners (but so. addicted to such games) to guess, too? I know I recently read that, also know where, but the book is at home, so - I guess it was something like a ham?
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 05-31-2013
Whoa! Double my score? I'm all over this! Roger - can you switch this over to the other thread?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-31-2013
Sorry, Joe, after much struggling, trial and error, etc. I have figured out how to move entire threads but not individual posts.
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 05-31-2013
Stand by....

YES, most definitely, Eva! Everyone is welcome!
RE: Assassination Trivia - Laurie Verge - 05-31-2013
You may be of ANY sectional persuasion to participate. Believe it or not, Yankee Joe and I are good friends. We just like to irritate each other.
Eva - Guess again; and I sure hope you don't have the book I'm using as the source for this.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 05-31-2013
I withdraw, my package was opened AT the White House...BTW Mr Pitt, your anti-aging treatment is amazingly successful!
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-02-2013
In the Lincoln assassination saga many doctors are mentioned. One of them had a grandfather who participated in the Boston Tea Party. Which doctor was this?
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 06-02-2013
Dr Leale?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-02-2013
Good guess, Betty, but it's not Dr. Leale.
