Wild guess; perhaps he trained as a preacher.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 03-17-2021 06:58 AM
Dennis, Bill got it. Please see his post here and my reply here.

The answer to this question was in Ed Steers' speech at the Surratt Conference Saturday. Thus, this particular question is for those folks who were not present.
Within 5, how many total statues of Abraham Lincoln are there in countries other than the United States?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 04-18-2021 01:06 PM
Guessing about 25.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-18-2021 02:06 PM
Close enough, Anita. Kudos! It is 28.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-18-2021 02:51 PM
Let's try one more with the same rules as the previous question.
How many statues of Lincoln are there worldwide (within 10)?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 04-18-2021 11:22 PM
I'll go with 127
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-19-2021 04:41 AM
Michael, you are not far off, but it's more than 127.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 04-19-2021 09:02 AM
Maybe, 160?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-19-2021 09:12 AM
Close enough, Steve. During his talk at the Surratt Conference Dr. Steers mentioned there were 149 Abraham Lincoln statues in the world, and that 28 of these were in foreign countries.

Please...no googling.
This man, who has been previously mentioned on this forum, met Abraham Lincoln during his presidential years. He noted the following:
"I saw this kind-hearted, noble man several times during the war. On two occasions I was present at public receptions given by him. Tall in stature, long-limbed, with an honest, homely, and sad face of which his very soul seemed to speak, he had a kind word and genial smile for all, however lowly, who approached him.
Taking my hand in his with a firm, full grasp, his words were, "How do you do sir? I am glad to see you."
Whose words are these?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Dennis Urban - 05-04-2021 05:14 PM
Sounds like Frederick Douglass story.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-05-2021 04:57 AM
I agree, Dennis. It does. However, that is not the correct answer.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 05-05-2021 07:17 AM
Grant ?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-05-2021 08:26 AM
Nope, not Grant.
