RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 10-29-2013
Hint#1: She didn't have to do with the EP directly, but with something that has to do with the EP.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-29-2013
I know Lincoln worked on the document at the Soldiers’ Home. Was she employed there?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 10-29-2013
Wonderful guess, Roger, but she wasn't.
Hint#2:

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 10-29-2013
Hint#3: It happened in 1877.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 10-29-2013
Hint#4: It cost her $25,000.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 10-29-2013
She bought the pen it was written with?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 10-29-2013
Good guess, Joe, but the item is MUCH bigger. Ok, I'Lo try one more hint:
Hint#5: A. Lincoln had it in the East Room, later (before 1877) it toured the country. So, what was it and what did Elizabeth Thompson do with it?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 10-29-2013
How about the desk it was written on?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 10-29-2013
I cheated. It was Francis Carpenter's painting of Lincoln and his cabinet with the EP. I'm German, so we'll take the point, Eva. (Trans Atlantic high five!)
Germans 1 Rebels 1
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 10-29-2013
When did we get the scores lowered to 1 & 1? I thought we previously had run up something like Rebels 13 - Beckert 8 or 9!

Does that answer your question?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 10-29-2013
Joe, kudos, you are right! The item is Carpenter's "First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln". As for what she did with it - she donated it to Congress.
Carpenter, with the help of William O. Stoddard, campaigned for Congress to purchase the painting, but Congress did not appropriate the money. So it remained in Carpenter’s possession until 1877, when Elizabeth Thompson purchased it.

That's a whole different mess. Folks don't seem so eager to beat the stuffing out of Eva like they do me, so I'm gonna hang with her awhile.

Something of note happened in this building. Where was it located, and what was the event?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 10-30-2013
Did it house Parr's China Shop? I believe Surratt met Powell there. It was located in Baltimore.
