Gettysburg Address?
RE: Stump the German - Eva Elisabeth - 04-27-2014 05:12 AM
Good guess, Roger. The Gettysburg address is indeed engraved in the freedom bell the American citizens gave (see post #81 on this thread), but it was not the soldiers' present.

Hint #1: It wasn't anything written.

A stovepipe hat?
RE: Stump the German - Eva Elisabeth - 04-27-2014 08:20 AM
Very smart, Gene, but sorry, it wasn't a stovepipe hat. But something as "famous".

Since he was nicknamed "The Rail Splitter" was it an axe?
RE: Stump the German - J. Beckert - 04-27-2014 08:37 AM
A replica of Lincoln's log cabin birthplace. Score one more for the Germans, please.
RE: Stump the German - Eva Elisabeth - 04-27-2014 01:12 PM
Excellent, Herr Beckert. It was re-buit in original size. (The axe came pretty close.)

Inspired by Anita's latest trivia question and another recent post: where is this Abraham Lincoln bust?

Hint #1: It's in a church.

I have no idea, but the whole lay-out looks European to me -- maybe Italy?
RE: Stump the German - Eva Elisabeth - 05-02-2014 06:15 PM
Very smart, Laurie, though not in Italy, Europe is correct.
RE: Stump the German - L Verge - 05-02-2014 06:41 PM
Okay, back to the drawing board. I was guessing Italy because of Anita's post about The Apostate (starring Duke Pescara as in Italy). Since a recent post by Angela had her heading to Austria, let's guess Austria???
RE: Stump the German - Eva Elisabeth - 05-02-2014 07:18 PM
Another very smart guess, but I'm sorry, it's not in Austria (there the bust would probably be a carved one).

Hint #2: You can't pay in € there.
Actually I even wanted to know where in that country.
Hint #3: Go back to the roots.

I don't know the name of the church, but because of that hint I will say Hingham in Norfolk, England.
