RE: Extra Credit Questions
Although the story may be apocryphal, it is in the literature. As a young man Abraham Lincoln went to Princeton, Indiana, to have some wool carded. While there he saw a girl and related:
"I passed on the street a very beautiful girl, the most bewildering creature it seems to me I had ever seen. My heart was in a flutter. The truth is I was so thoroughly captivated by the vision of maidenly beauty that I wanted to stop in Princeton forever." The girl then allegedly bowed to him on the street. As it turns out Lincoln had just seen the "village belle" of Princeton. Who was the "village belle" of Princeton? |
