No, Roger. It does though involve Lincoln being delayed on the James River .

No, Steve. But this person at one point went to assist Adam Slemmer.

No, not him Steve .
The man we need was inthe navy. The mission that he was sent to help happened just before the war started. “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Are you thinking of Capt. William S. Walker of the Brooklyn? I can't find any more biographical information about him besides his mission to Ft. Sumter and Ft. Pickens before the war, and that the Buchanan administration barred him from unloading any reinforcements to Ft. Pickens unless the fort was attacked.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
No Steve. It was the Lincoln/Seward administration. ... it was to be an "army affair" ... a ship was obviously involved .... so Welles was a little annoyed, especially since he had another expedition in mind to another well known fort.

He chose to ignore an order that came from Lincoln, with respect to going to Fort Pickens.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Roger, you are as close as close could be without being correct.
The person we are seeking praised Capt Adams and was later with him on the James River with Lincoln. “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Yes! Yes ! Yes! Well done Steve.
Apologies to you and Roger if (?) my hints were less than helpful. I kept double-checking my facts and hopefully wasnt wrong on any. Now .... can anybody make the connection with Admiral Porter. ... trousers. ... and a vessel named "Glance " ? “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Porter was not on the "Glance", nor was Lincoln. It was trying to help.
