Extra Credit Questions

[Joe Di Cola]

Yes, Seward and Lincoln met as described; however, according to Walter Stahr (Seward's most recent biographer), there may be a problem with Seward's reminiscence that he and Lincoln shared lodgings together in Worcester, MA--see pages 110-111 of the Stahr biography.

The source I used was an article by Dr. Wayne Temple in the Summer, 1965, Lincoln Herald. The title of the article is "Lincoln and the Burners at New Salem." I do not believe Daniel Green Burner's reminiscences were ever told to Herndon. He was 80 years old when he told his reminiscences and was a teen when he lived at New Salem.

Rob is awesome!
