I think we got more mileage out of that than Moon Pies.

Who is this woman?

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-22-2013 06:03 AM
Anna Ella Carroll.

Roger you are spot on. Your prize is a turkey that has been granted a pardon and needs a good home.
" Anna Carroll's role as a military strategist during the Civil War was controversial. President Lincoln sent her, accompanied by an army officer, to observe and report on the War on the western front. Her reports resulted in major military strategies that eventually doomed the Confederacy and ended the intervention of the European nations on the behalf of the South. The President and his Cabinet kept her authorship a secret; the public was not to know that the Union plans were devised by not only a civilian, but by a woman."

Who is this lady?

RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-25-2013 08:47 AM
Hint#1: She is often mentioned in the context of the assassination.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-25-2013 08:50 AM
Jeannie Gourlay?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-25-2013 08:54 AM
Good guess, Roger, but it's not her.
Hint#2: She played a role later that night.
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 11-25-2013 09:48 AM
That looks like a painting that pre-dates photography, which would make her older than most of the young cast. Also, the ringlets are making me think of a young Laura Keene. Did I win?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-25-2013 10:09 AM
Sorry, Joe, not yet.
Hint#3: She played a role at the Petersen House.
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 11-25-2013 10:16 AM
O.K. - I'm thinking now she wasn't in the play, so I'll throw in that she is the wife of one of the Government Officials that went there to comfort MTL. French or Welles' wife?
RE: Who is this person? - Rogerm - 11-25-2013 10:27 AM
I will go along with Joe and guess that this is Mrs. Welles who, I believe, comforted Mary Lincoln at the Petersen House.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-25-2013 10:33 AM
Sorry again, she's none of these ladies.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-25-2013 10:48 AM
Ok, Eva, based on all your clues I'll go with Elizabeth Dixon.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-25-2013 11:09 AM
That is correct, Roger, very good. You win my best wishes for a good day.
