RE: Extra Credit Questions
Excellent, Michael! Maryland it is. According to Gettysburg resident Charles McCurdy, Seward had some drinks earlier at the Robert Harper home where he was staying.
McCurdy writes that Harper was with Seward in the crowd. Harper immediately pulled at Seward's coat, and he shouted in Seward's ear: "You have made a mistake, Seward, this isn't Maryland, this is Pennsylvania." Seward turned to the crowd and said: "Oh, yes, and including all other states adjacent thereto." Everyone within earshot laughed. I did not get this story from McCurdy's book, but I assume it's in there. https://www.amazon.com/Gettysburg-Memoir...1482345617 |
