Speaking of holidays, here is an easy trivia question; we can can thank Lincoln that Thanksgiving is a Federal holiday, but what other holiday was made a Federal holiday by someone that had once worked for Lincoln. Who was the person- and what is the holiday? I know that the Thanksgiving proclamation was written by William H. Seward....but could it be "Mother's Day?" This was established by Julia Ward Howe - but I don't think that she ever "worked" for Lincoln.... "The Past is a foreign country...they do things differently there" - L. P. Hartley |
