RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-07-2013
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
Mary Lincoln?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-07-2013
Good guess! But the sought-after person wouldn't be amused about your answer!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 06-07-2013
Dang. I thought I remembered that from somewhere.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 06-07-2013
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
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
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?

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