Tuberculosis ?

Dr. Steers believes she died from Brucellosis. I think he is correct.

Logical guess, Michael, but Rob is correct. Dr. Steers believes she died from brucellosis.

For those curious about Dr. Steers' reasoning please go here.

Thanks for the link. There are so many wonderful posts from the past it's hard to remember all of them, and where they are.

What person was described as such?

"He knew much about the cost of things, the details of trade, the principles of mechanics, and the habits of animals, all of which showed the activity of his mind and the odd turn of his thoughts."

Hint #1: The correct answer has been mentioned many times on this forum.

Denton Offutt ?


RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 07-09-2023 03:19 PM

William Berry?


RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-09-2023 06:00 PM

Nope, it was not Offutt or Berry.


RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 07-09-2023 07:18 PM

Edwin Stanton for his ability to master the logistics of the war department?


RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 07-09-2023 08:10 PM

Ok. I'll go for the obvious (to me). He fits most of those.
Abraham Lincoln


RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-10-2023 04:50 AM

Nope, it was not Stanton or Lincoln.


RE: Extra Credit Questions - Juan Marrero - 07-10-2023 08:55 AM

Salmon Chase?


RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-10-2023 09:11 AM

Nope, it wasn't Chase.

Hint #1.5: Maybe think a little outside the box on this one.

Benjamin Franklin


RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-10-2023 03:55 PM

Nope, it wasn't Franklin.
