Maybe this helps:
Hint#2: The person's response was: "I appreciate the honor Mrs. Lincoln would do me, but time is very important now - and really - Mr. Lincoln, I have had enough of this show business."

Sounds like Ulysses S. Grant to me.

Charles Sumner
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 07-28-2013 02:44 PM
I agree with Rob Wick that it is General Grant.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 07-28-2013 03:05 PM
Great, Rob and Roger, you are right. It was Grant who denied the invitation in March 1864 (according to Isaac Arnold, 'The life of Abraham Lincoln', p. 371).

This gentleman led a very active life including writing a book about Abraham Lincoln. Who is he?

Senator Paul Simon?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 07-29-2013 10:50 AM
I was going to say the same thing - a young Sen. Simon.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 07-29-2013 01:49 PM
Both of you are correct. Good job!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 07-29-2013 02:07 PM
I knew Paul Simon professionally for several years. I always regretted not being able to talk with him about his book on Lincoln in the Illinois legislature.
Where did that picture come from, Roger?

Rob, go here.
For folks not familiar with Paul Simon there is a nice tribute to him here.

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel put out some great songs.

(we're probably talking about a different Paul Simon aren't we)

Gene,
Try this on for size.

Who said "I ...told Mr. Lincoln if he would give me ten thousand dollars I would make him all the money he wanted."? (But the President denied this offer.)

Was it Thurlow Weed?
