RE: Trivia question
Kudos, Steve! I was surprised when I read it because I had known of the old "turkey story" in which 8=year-old Abraham had shot and killed a turkey. Then, when he took a look at the dead turkey, he felt really bad. And I had (perhaps naively) thought that Lincoln never hunted afterwards. But, according to Indiana friend, David Turnham, Lincoln sometimes hunted on Sundays.

(No googling, please)

Ernest Hemingway didnt like it. But Charles Dickens did ... and Jane Austen did, too.

Lincoln had very considerable respect for it.

To what am I referring?

RE: Trivia question
Roger, you deserve a clue.
This question came to me when I read something in a magazine supplement and associated that with something discussed very recently, on another Thread of this Forum.
