RE: Who Said This?
Yes, Joe! Good job. The source for this is Asia Booth Clarke's memoir (1938) published many years after her death (1888).

RE: Who Said This?
Dr. Eva is the closest so far! This person was younger, but was not yet a soldier. That came later.

RE: Who Said This?
Yes it was, Roger! Great job. During a hazing while attending his first year at Harvard, Robert was asked about his then presidential candidate father and that's how he described him.
I just watched an outstanding clip by Jason Emerson that dispels many myths about RTL.

RE: Who Said This?
Well, according to my Google search, the answer appears to be John Mitchel. However, I would be lying if I said I had any idea who he was other than what I read online.
