Wow - the struggle to answer this one was like going through childbirth again. Congratulations, Roger.

Agreed (at least what I imagine it is). Well deserved victory, Roger!!

Yes, Laurie. I was beginning to think that the delivery was taking too long and I'd have to conduct a caesarian.

Thanks, Laurie and Eva. I had several wrong guesses, though.

What's frustrating is that I googled "first president of Confederacy" and got only Davis. I guess the word "Provisional" was the key.
Forty-five years ago, I was in labor for two and a half days. How long did it take to deliver this answer?
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 09-25-2018 11:11 PM
I think the answer took longer (3 days or so) than your labor, and I'm guessing that it was lot more fun.

This man died at quite an early age.

I am sure I have seen him... (as always). Confederate?

No, Eva. I agree , when I saw the image it reminded me of someone else (If that helps ... though I cannot think of who) . Sorry, definitely not Confederate.

By the way, with my questions I expect people to use the internet and google searches. Although that wont help much yet.
Hint #1 His first name made me think it ought to be that of a character on Sesame St.
Hint #2 He fought in the Civil War and survived.

Oscar Lawrence Jackson?
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 10-03-2018 08:28 AM
No, sorry Roger. ( I agree there is a facial resemblance to Oscar Jackson)
This man had a short but very eventful life. In fact someone should make a film about him. In my opinion, a very unusual life.
In some ways a David Lockmiller-type of person (I am guessing at David's political beliefs and hope I'm not offending him), but in other ways a very un-David Lockmiller person.
This man died after the Civil War. An officer, he was shot whilst in the Army. Obviously, you will draw your own conclusions about that (as I have, and I may well be wrong)
