RE: "Stump the Yankee"
Save your rope for another day, Miss Laurie. Roger takes this one. That's it, Roger! The carriage used in the Emerald City scene is said to have been owned, or at least used, by Lincoln as President. An inscription on the frame reads "A. Lincoln June 8, 1863".
Robert said the carriage used by the Lincoln's to go to Ford's was presented to Lincoln around his second inaugural, but other sources date it earlier, some as early as 1863, so I guess it's possible, but the only evidence is the inscription. Here's a clip from the Judy Garland Museum. http://judynoplacelikehome.org/treasures.html Another stain on the Yankee banner and the Rebs have hit double digits. I'm going to have to start making stuff up to get ahead at this point. Don't put it past me.
