RE: Who is this?
I have no earthly idea. Was he a politician?

RE: Who is this?
I do not think so.
Years after the Lincoln Presidency he became an author and an inventor. |

RE: Who is this?
That's the hint I needed! William O. Stoddard.

RE: Who is this?
Right, Anita!! I got the idea from one of Gene's recent posts. Stoddard was one of Lincoln's secretaries, although (IMO) not as well-known as Hay and Nicolay.

RE: Who is this?
Please...no googling.
This man met Abraham Lincoln during his presidential years. He noted the following: "I saw this kind-hearted, noble man several times during the war. On two occasions I was present at public receptions given by him. Tall in stature, long-limbed, with an honest, homely, and sad face of which his very soul seemed to speak, he had a kind word and genial smile for all, however lowly, who approached him. Taking my hand in his with a firm, full grasp, his words were, "How do you do sir? I am glad to see you." Whose words are these? |

RE: Who is this?
I'm sure this isn't correct, but Edward Everett?

RE: Who is this?
Nope, not Everett. It is a familiar name on this forum, and he is most often mentioned under one particular topic.

RE: Who is this?
This is a really hard question, and I think I will give the answer. These are the words of Louis Weichmann.
It is in Weichmann's book - p. 6. |
