RE: Trivial Trivia - taking trivia to new levels
Lincoln gave the pen to Mr. George Livermore. Livermore, was, according to The Lincoln Herald (Summer 2012), an author of a book concerning the part that slaves and free Blacks played in the American Revolution. Sumner had read the book. He then sent Lincoln a copy of the book and a letter encouraging the president to pay "especial attention" to the last half, entitled "Negroes as Soldiers." Lincoln must have been impressed by what he read-he gave the pen to Livermore.
