RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 07-28-2013
Maybe this helps:
Hint#2: The person's response was: "I appreciate the honor Mrs. Lincoln would do me, but time is very important now - and really - Mr. Lincoln, I have had enough of this show business."
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 07-28-2013
Sounds like Ulysses S. Grant to me.

Charles Sumner
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 07-28-2013
I agree with Rob Wick that it is General Grant.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 07-28-2013
Great, Rob and Roger, you are right. It was Grant who denied the invitation in March 1864 (according to Isaac Arnold, 'The life of Abraham Lincoln', p. 371).
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-29-2013
This gentleman led a very active life including writing a book about Abraham Lincoln. Who is he?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 07-29-2013
Senator Paul Simon?

Rob
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 07-29-2013
I was going to say the same thing - a young Sen. Simon.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-29-2013
Both of you are correct. Good job!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 07-29-2013
I knew Paul Simon professionally for several years. I always regretted not being able to talk with him about his book on Lincoln in the Illinois legislature.
Where did that picture come from, Roger?

Rob
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-29-2013
Rob, go here.
For folks not familiar with Paul Simon there is a nice tribute to him here.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 07-29-2013
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel put out some great songs.

(we're probably talking about a different Paul Simon aren't we)
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 07-29-2013
Gene,
Try this on for size.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 07-31-2013
Who said "I ...told Mr. Lincoln if he would give me ten thousand dollars I would make him all the money he wanted."? (But the President denied this offer.)
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 07-31-2013
Was it Thurlow Weed?
