RE: Who is this person? - BettyO - 03-24-2015
Comanche?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-24-2015
Good guess, but, sporry, it's not Comanche either.
Hint #3: The horses new name began within "W". The original name began with "R".
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 03-24-2015
Waynesboro?
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 03-24-2015
Phillip Sheridan had a horse named "Winchester"
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-24-2015
Another good guess, Roger, but kudos, Gene, this is Winchester! His original name was Rienzi, and he died and was stuffed in New York in 1878.
You win a free ride on Winchester.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 03-24-2015
Let's try one more horse question. What is this horse's name? What Civil War era person rode him?

RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 03-24-2015
General Meade's horse Baldy.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 03-24-2015
Brilliant, Anita!
I am going to use Eva's idea and give the same sort of prize Gene won - you win a free ride on Old Baldy.
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 03-24-2015
Thanks Roger. I'll get out my riding boots!
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-28-2015
Who is this gentleman?

Is that Osborn Oldroyd?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-28-2015
Great guess, Scott, but, I'm sorry - not correct!
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 03-28-2015
I think there's at least some resemblance to Samuel J. Seymour, so I'll guess him.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-28-2015
Another fantastic guess, Roger, but it's not S.J.Seymour either.
Hint #1: This gentleman was personally acquainted with the Lincolns.
Hint #2: The photo was taken in 1943. The gentleman was 89 yrs of age at that time.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 03-28-2015
Hint #3: I discovered the photo in a book I just bought at the conference.
