Well, indeed, it's a very distant link. Gordon Bennett (jr) sent out one of his journalists for a famous interview with this famous Scotsman, now you'll know him, I ASSUME.

I'm sorry, Laurie, it neither wasn't him. It really begins to gnaw at my conscience. The journalist was Henry Morton Stanley, and he had to depart for Africa, where the abolitionist was seeking to discover the source of the River Nile.

That's Dr. Livingston, (I presume?)

Splendid, perfectly right. (Gene, for the last 20 years I believed he said "assume"). The initial quote is from the inscription of Livingston's gravestone. Lacking a prize of equal value to my relief I send you all my best wishes!

One of Mary Lincoln's sisters? I'll guess Ninian Edward's wife - Elizabeth?

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Good try, Joe, but this woman wasn't directly connected/related to Lincoln. However, most folks on the forum will be quite familiar with who she is when the answer is revealed.
Hint #1: She was born in 1815. |
