RE: "Stump the Yankee"
Rebels 9
Yankee 3 Good evening and welcome back to another installment of "Stump the Yankee". I'm fully recovered from that vicious beating I suffered at the hands of that unrepentant She Rebel from Surrattsville. I'm thinking now that the gender specific round may have been a bad idea. I thought the last question was a guaranteed ringer. I'm also hearing rumors of guerrilla warfare tactics involving promises of fried chicken, grits, cornbread and moonshine for help in giving me yet another beating and boosting the Rebel score. Anything goes here, so it's on now, you Rebels. Time for the blamed Yankee tricks edition..... Lincoln relics. They're all over the place, aren't they? Swatches of towels, hair locks, wallpaper, Lincoln's hat, watch - you name it. Rich Smyth and Jim Garrett are actually working on a book about them. Some have good provenance, some don't. This one doesn't. I dug deep in the Yankee carpetbag for this one. Here it is.... What rumored relic was used in a movie that barely mentioned Lincoln's name?
