RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-15-2013
Nope; it came from someone who knew him prior to his presidency.

Was it the sculptor Leonard Volk?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-15-2013
Nope. Think someone who knew him earlier (although the description came after Lincoln's death).
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 06-15-2013
Speed?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-15-2013
Nope.
Hint #1: He was a lawyer. Not William Herndon.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-15-2013
Leonard Swett?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-15-2013
Sorry, Eva, it was not Leonard Swett.
Hint #2: This man was commissioned Attorney of the United States in and for the Southern District of Illinois on June 21, 1860.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-15-2013
Now I think I got it: Elliott B. Herndon. And he told that to Herndon.?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Joe Di Cola - 06-15-2013
David Davis or Lyman Trumbull? I am picking Davis as my 1st choice.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-15-2013
Eva got it. Very good, Eva! That was a hard one, I thought. The quote is from William Herndon's brother, Elliott Herndon (not a Lincoln admirer).

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-15-2013
It was a hard one, and even harder after the Herndon-hint.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Joe Di Cola - 06-15-2013
Here it is--TaDa--yet another installment in the Whose house was this? series...
and, for even more extra credit, where?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-15-2013
Is it Farmington (Speed home) in Louisville?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Joe Di Cola - 06-15-2013

Not Speed's home. Think a slightly earlier Lincoln connection. Hint: this is also the person's home after he had left Lincoln's orbit. Hope that helps.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-15-2013
William Jones' home in Gentryville, Indiana?
