RE: "Stump the Yankee"
Remember the old license plate, Joe, "Forget, Hell!" I'm the female version of the grizzled old Confederate. Just like Mosby, I won't surrender. And I wish that the watermark of ancientfaces would get the heck out of the way so that I can read the fine print directly below the photo.

Oh, and another reason I don't know the answer is because I'm under forty.....

O.K., grizzled old She Rebel. Here's hint # 2.5 - Just for you.....

The watermark isn't obscuring anything. See the sign to the lower right? The white dressed maidens in the wagon represent the existing 33 states. The sign says - Won't you let me in? K-ns-s.

Darn, Betty beat me to it! However, I have only seen that movie in its entirety one time in my life. What's the supposed Lincoln relic mentioned in it.

The Red Headed She Rebel is smokin' hot on this one!!!

Kansas is the state and that's the movie!! Should I assume the position already?

Go ahead and let me have it. I'm getting used to it. Gen. McClellan's war record is better than the mess I got working here.

RE: "Stump the Yankee"
Oh no, that was my first guess! I could have saved it for us, Joe! But, as usual, I didn't trust myself. ...

The Wizard of Oz was always one of my favorites. Growing up, we watched it every year when it came on TV - I've probably seen it 100 times by now. I met one of the Munchkins at an amusement park when I was little, and the last two surviving ones at a special sing-along screening of the movie in an old Vaudeville theater a couple of years ago.

RE: "Stump the Yankee"
So what is the relic?
Can't help but think of part of the song lyric: "...you could be another Lincoln, if you only had a brain..."

RE: "Stump the Yankee"
This ain't over yet, Bill! The Rebs have to figure out what the relic was. I am, however, expecting the worst. The hemp neck tie should be fitted any time now......

Well hopefully they tie with the appropriate number of knots!

RE: "Stump the Yankee"
I'll get busy working on the knots if the answer is one of Lincoln's stovepipe hats.

RE: "Stump the Yankee"
Save your rope for another day, Miss Laurie. Roger takes this one. That's it, Roger! The carriage used in the Emerald City scene is said to have been owned, or at least used, by Lincoln as President. An inscription on the frame reads "A. Lincoln June 8, 1863".

Robert said the carriage used by the Lincoln's to go to Ford's was presented to Lincoln around his second inaugural, but other sources date it earlier, some as early as 1863, so I guess it's possible, but the only evidence is the inscription. Here's a clip from the Judy Garland Museum.

Another stain on the Yankee banner and the Rebs have hit double digits. I'm going to have to start making stuff up to get ahead at this point. Don't put it past me.

Rebels 10
Yankee 3
