RE: Who is this person?
Roger,
Good guess, but it's not her. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg

RE: Who is this person?
Right occupation Roger, but wrong person.
Best Rob Clue #2. Of her work, David C. Mearns said "The best things to be said about it are two: 1) she did not propagate the Ann Rutledge idyll, which may indicate that she had never heard of that woodland myth, and 2) that the style is, in a most moving sense, militantly dedicated." Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Who is this person?
That is correct, Roger. Phebe Hanaford was a Universalist minister who was the first woman to write a full-scale biography of Lincoln in 1865, beating Tarbell by 35 years. She was quite a character. Good job!
You win one free sermon from the good Rev. Hanaford on the subject of your choice. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

She's only a minister, Roger, not a miracle worker.

RE: Who is this person?
Brilliant, Dave! It's him. Had he lived 23 years longer, he surely would have been Samuel Beckett's first choice for the part of Lucky in "Waiting for Godot":
(Estragon/Lucky/Vladimir) Dave, to check this you win tickets for the play at a theater of your choice (don't wait)! |
