Was it a writer or journalist?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-05-2021 06:09 PM
Although he did some writing, he was not known as a writer or journalist.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 05-05-2021 06:10 PM
Someone who was a VIP back then (known to the public)?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-06-2021 04:41 AM
He became known to the public only in the weeks and months after the Lincoln administration.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 05-06-2021 05:53 AM
So he was rather young (<40) when he met Lincoln?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 05-06-2021 06:19 AM
A man from the religious area?

He was a church-goer but did not become known for religious reasons. He became known for other reasons.

Was his "fame" related to the assassination or Abraham Lincoln at all? (Would he not have become famous "without"?)
Another question - was he a politician? Or somehow involved in the reconstruction?
