In 1862 Lincoln appointed someone "Agent for Cherokee Indians". It was another person who begged Lincoln to do so. Who was this person?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 06-07-2013 11:56 AM
Mary Lincoln?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-07-2013 12:07 PM
Good guess! But the sought-after person wouldn't be amused about your answer!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 06-07-2013 12:31 PM
Dang. I thought I remembered that from somewhere.

Was it Lincoln's secretary, John Hay, who we know was not a fan of Mary Lincoln?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-07-2013 01:17 PM
Sorry, I have no moon pie to comfort you...BTW "not amused" was a hint.
Hint #2: The person came to Washington in January and afterwards never met the President again.

Didn't Herndon make such a recommendation?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-07-2013 01:19 PM
Hi Roger, clever, but it was not Hay.
Hey, you are too fast. Brilliant, tblunk, it was Herndon. He wanted to woo an 18 years younger woman, Anna Miles. The later Agent was her sister's husband, Charles Chatterton. Lincoln found it funny.
If you like - here's another "Herndon"- question:
How much was Herndon payed a year when he clerked in J. Speed's store?

I'll say Herndon was paid $700.00 dollars a year.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-07-2013 02:38 PM
Kudos, correct to the cent, Roger!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 06-07-2013 02:53 PM
Große Aufgabe, Roger! Ich denke, dass wir rufen können, dass ein Yankee Sieg.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Laurie Verge - 06-07-2013 03:04 PM
Boy, Roger, I sure hope that was a compliment from that Yankee!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-07-2013 03:11 PM
Laurie, that was almost a battle cry.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 06-07-2013 03:12 PM
Es war. Sie empören sich wenig. (That was for Laurie)
