RE: Extra Credit Questions
I am sorry, Bill and Roger, but it's not New York or West Virginia.
Hint #1: Abraham Lincoln did visit this state but not as President. |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Scenery looks more like New England to me - did he ever travel that far north? I know he visited Niagara Falls several times, but I don't count that as New England.
Massachusetts? Maybe Wisconsin? |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Excellent, Joe! Indeed it's New Hampshire where Robert attended Phillips Academy in Exeter before going to Harvard.
The photo was taken in Peterborough. The river is the Contoocook River. Lincoln was never in Peterborough, and his time in New Hampshire was prior to his growing a beard. Thus, the figure in the photo is not Lincoln. This was a tough one - kudos, Joe. Source for question: Stefan Lorant's Lincoln: A Picture Story of His Life, p. 87. |
