Next clue. He got his distinctive voice after being gassed in World War I.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
I figured a California person would get it!
Yes, Anita, it was Walter Brennan. For the life of me, I can't imagine Brennan playing Lincoln. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Please try to answer without googling.
This event happened in Abraham Lincoln's lifetime. What is it? ![[Image: whateventisdepictedhere.jpg]](http://rogerjnorton.com/whateventisdepictedhere.jpg) |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Excellent, Steve! Yes, the image depicts the mob attacking the warehouse in Alton, Illinois, where Elijah Lovejoy's printing press was stored. The event happened on November 7, 1837. Lovejoy was a minister and abolitionist newspaper editor, and he was shot and killed by a pro-slavery mob which attacked the warehouse and destroyed the printing press. Abraham Lincoln was critical of mob violence in his 1838 Lyceum Address.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
No googling, please.
Abraham Lincoln did this at least nine times, leading all other presidents. What did he do? Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

Good guess, Steve, but that's not it.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Another good guess, Roger, but incorrect. According to my source for this question, what Lincoln did wouldn't have the same effect as it did in his time.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
I had a guess that I wasn't sure it was right, so I googled it to check. I was wrong, but what I found out was interesting to me, so I thought I'd share it with you.
(How many times did Lincoln quote from the Bible in his public speeches?) ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS was delivered on March 4, 1865, to a nation convulsed in the dying gasps of the Civil War. To the surprise of his audience, in only 701 words, Lincoln mentioned God 14 times, quoted Scripture four times, and invoked prayer three times. Lincoln and Divine Providence - Seattle Pacific University Seattle Pacific University https://spu.edu/depts/uc/response/summer...e%20times. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
