The son or daughter of David Derickson?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 11-21-2012 02:11 PM
I knew that would do it. You're right Roger. It was C.M. Derickson, the son of David Derickson.
You win a week's stay with the Bucktails regiment. Just find someone with a time machine.

Sorry Otto, but that Ida Tarbell was a composite of the New York crowd, so she didn't really write about Lincoln.

Sincerely,
Otto

I know the veracity of the William Scott ("Sleeping Sentinel") story has been questioned, but is it him?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 01-02-2013 10:59 AM
Sorry Roger. It wasn't Scott.
