Does Lincoln's Animal Friends have the story about when the President was out for a carriage ride one afternoon and saw a friend walking and offered him a ride...then just as the distinguished gentleman was entering he saw that AL had a couple of his goats with him in the carriage? The man freaked out and said there was no way he was going to share a carriage with billy goats. Lincoln assured him that there was "plenty of room" but the friend refused to enter. Lincoln was genuinely baffled at this attitude, but finally drove off. I remember reading this many years ago in a book about WH pets and for the life of me I cannot remember where I read it. I thought it was a very funny story...vintage AL! And I am pretty sure the offended friend was Edwin Stanton. Has anyone else heard that one? |
