Not him, Roger, but a very good guess! I could as well have posted the question on the "Assassination trivia" thread.

Wild guess - William Browning?

RE: Who is this person?
I cheated, Eva. When you mentioned Good Friday morning I started looking at W. Emerson Reck's book on Lincoln's last day. And I found the man's picture on p. 11. It's Eli K. Price.

Who's Eli Price?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Who is this person?
Very smart, Roger, and since this question took trivia to the top and I can't recall reading his "story" anywhere else I don't consider it cheating!
Gene, here's an answer to your question: http://books.google.de/books?id=6vJ1tHgJ...=html_text http://books.google.de/books?id=6vJ1tHgJ...ch_r&cad=1 |

RE: Who is this person?
This person was described as so "tight and compact" that "he never could find the points of separation between his ribs..."
A. Who was the person so described? B. Who described the person this way? |

RE: Who is this person?
B. Well, the description sounds Dennis-Hanks-like, but
A. I don't know/recall whom (?) he would describe (if B. was right). (A. The description would match Stephen Douglas, but the style of language somehow isn't in line with anyone I could think of to describe Douglas.) |

RE: Who is this person?
Splendid, Eva! The description does come from Dennis Hanks. Very good. Now, whom was he describing? (It was not Douglas.)
