RE: Who is this person?
Sorry Roger, but it's not Ford.
Second clue: He was a lawyer. 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

He does bear a resemblance to Parks, but it's not him, Anita.

RE: Who is this person?
Sure not him, wild guess - John T. Stuart with a beard and at old age?

RE: Who is this person?
It doesn't look like Louis A. Warren (at least in the photo I've seen), but I'll guess him anyway.

You are on the right path Roger, but it's not Warren.

RE: Who is this person?
Sorry Roger, it's not Olmstead.
Clue Five: He believed that the character of Lincoln was developed during his family's time in a particular region and devoted his remaining years to doing research to substantiate that claim.

RE: Who is this person?
You got it Roger. Great job! Iglehart and the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society played a major role in overcoming the "stagnant, putrid pool" and "diamond on the dunghill" theories of Lincoln's Indiana years. Through the group's Lincoln Inquiry (hence the opening "Inquiring minds want to know...), Iglehart and others corresponded with Tarbell, Louis Warren, Sandburg, Turner and Beveridge among others. Keith Erekson's book "Everybody's History" is an account of the Lincoln Inquiry and their efforts.
You win a free swim in the "stagnant, putrid pool" followed by a skin treatment at the Southwestern Indiana Dunghill Resort. Taxes may apply. 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?
I think you'll enjoy it, Anita. It's written in such a way that emphasizes both analysis and narrative.
