Who wrote this about Abraham Lincoln?
"Surrounded by all sorts of conflicting claims, by traitors, by half-hearted, timid men, by Border States men, and Free States men, by radical Abolitionists, and Conservatives, he has listened to all, weighed the words of all, waited, observed, yielded now here and now there, but in the main kept one inflexible, honest purpose, and drawn the national ship through."

Horace Greeley?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-29-2013 04:59 AM
Good guess, Joe, but it wasn't him.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 04-29-2013 05:35 AM
Gideon Welles?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-29-2013 05:49 AM
Good guess, Gene, but it's not him.

William Stoddart?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-29-2013 07:28 AM
Good guess, Eva, but it's not him.

Nicolay or Hay?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 04-29-2013 07:58 AM
Was it the diarest from New York whose name, I believe was, George Templeton Strong?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-29-2013 08:04 AM
Good guesses, Joe and Roger, but not correct.
Hint #1: Let's start by eliminating half the population - the correct answer is female.

Harret Beecher Stowe?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-29-2013 08:34 AM
Clara Hay?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-29-2013 09:00 AM
Wonderful guess, Eva, but Joe Di Cola got it right. Kudos, Joe. The quote comes from Harriet Beecher Stowe in an article from a periodical titled Littell's Living Age, February 1864.

How long was the railroad car that carried Abraham Lincoln's remains to Springfield?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 05-02-2013 06:10 AM
A complete guess here. 40 feet?
