RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Again, neither is correct.

I'm quickly running out of clues, so this will be the final one before I give up the answer.

WWLD?

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
You got it, Steve! Tarbell was often asked what Lincoln would think of current situations, and she would respond that she had no idea. She always told people they were asking the wrong question. Instead of asking what Lincoln would do, they should study how Lincoln made decisions. That would be the closest anyone could come to capturing Lincoln's viewpoint on events he had no knowledge of.
