RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-04-2023 08:00 AM Nope, but that's another good guess. RE: Who Said This? - Dave B - 11-04-2023 08:47 AM Dennis Hanks? RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-04-2023 09:08 AM Nope, but that's yet another good guess. RE: Who Said This? - Rob Wick - 11-04-2023 10:44 PM Sarah Bush Lincoln? Best Rob RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-05-2023 05:17 AM Certainly a good guess, but incorrect. The correct answer is male and has been mentioned previously on this forum. RE: Who Said This? - Steve - 11-05-2023 08:48 AM Austin Gollaher? RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-05-2023 10:45 AM Good try, Steve, but it was not Austin Gollaher. RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-05-2023 02:42 PM The correct answer is a cousin of Nancy Hanks Lincoln. RE: Who Said This? - Gene C - 11-05-2023 03:41 PM John Hanks ? RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-05-2023 04:38 PM Yes, Gene! Good job. The quote comes from John Hanks' remarks to William Herndon in June 1865. RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-14-2023 10:00 AM No googling please. Who said this about Abraham Lincoln? "This man's appearance, his pedigree, his low coarse jokes and anecdotes, his vulgar similes, and his frivolity, are a disgrace to the seat he holds." RE: Who Said This? - Gene C - 11-14-2023 03:52 PM George McClellan ? I wonder how Lincoln responded, which reminds me of a song by Sammy Davis Jr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaalq3RYAyw RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-14-2023 04:39 PM Nope, not McClellan. RE: Who Said This? - Rob Wick - 11-14-2023 07:58 PM Stanton seems too obvious, but I will guess him. Best Rob RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 11-14-2023 08:22 PM Nope, it wasn't Stanton. However, in this case, another obvious answer is the correct one. The person has been mentioned many, many, many times on this forum (especially under one topic). |
