"Stump the Yankee"

[J. Beckert]

Good evening and welcome back to what I hope will be an exact repeat of the last round of "Stump the Yankee" - because I won that time.

Enough of the horsefeathers. Let get started.

A visitor to Lincoln's White House complained of having his watch lifted by a pick pocket. Lincoln rummaged through his desk and presented this person with his old pocket watch. Who was this person?

Same prize as last time - the wood from Fort McNair where the trial of the conspirators was held. Graciously donated by Betty Ownsbey.

Good luck and don't let me win twice in a row. You Rebs will never hear the end of it.
