Comanche?

Eva Elisabeth · 03-24-2015, 07:37 AM

Good guess, but, sporry, it's not Comanche either.

Hint #3: The horses new name began within "W". The original name began with "R".

Waynesboro?

Gene C · 03-24-2015, 10:12 AM

Phillip Sheridan had a horse named "Winchester"

Another good guess, Roger, but kudos, Gene, this is Winchester! His original name was Rienzi, and he died and was stuffed in New York in 1878.

You win a free ride on Winchester.

Let's try one more horse question. What is this horse's name? What Civil War era person rode him?

Anita · 03-24-2015, 01:42 PM

General Meade's horse Baldy.

RJNorton · 03-24-2015, 02:06 PM

Brilliant, Anita!

I am going to use Eva's idea and give the same sort of prize Gene won - you win a free ride on Old Baldy.

Anita · 03-24-2015, 02:19 PM

Thanks Roger. I'll get out my riding boots!

Who is this gentleman?

Is that Osborn Oldroyd?

Eva Elisabeth · 03-28-2015, 08:19 AM

Great guess, Scott, but, I'm sorry - not correct!

RJNorton · 03-28-2015, 08:32 AM

I think there's at least some resemblance to Samuel J. Seymour, so I'll guess him.

Eva Elisabeth · (This post was last modified: 03-28-2015 10:21 AM by Eva Elisabeth.)

Another fantastic guess, Roger, but it's not S.J.Seymour either.

Hint #1: This gentleman was personally acquainted with the Lincolns.

Hint #2: The photo was taken in 1943. The gentleman was 89 yrs of age at that time.

Hint #3: I discovered the photo in a book I just bought at the conference.
