Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Brad, I must confess: after I hear Paul Harvey’s part, I have to go back and listen to him and then your rest of the rest of the story. Knowing the rest of the story, I can listen with new appreciation of the story! Thanks!
There's nothing wrong with that. While researching them, I listen to them multiple times. I'm glad you're enjoying them. :)
Wow! You’ve literally left me with my mouth wide open! 🤯
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Very interesting. Thank you.
I've glad you enjoyed it. Keep listening. I have a lot more coming up. :)
Wow that was great information. Thank you
I'm very glad you enjoyed listening. :)
Priceless as always Brad! Nothing better than Paul Harvey, and your commentary to follow! Always enjoyable and informative. As always God bless you and your family! Thanks for everything you do!
I'm glad you enjoyed listening. I hope you've been doing well. God bless you too, my friend. :)
Great video Brad! I like the fact you corrected your statement. That makes you an honest man in my eyes. Not that I ever had any doubts. Please continue to give us these wonderful videos.
I felt bad in the way that I corrected it, but it was the best I could do. I knew if I didn't some people would attack. hahaha. :)
@@BradDison Hey at least you corrected it. Most people now a days would just deny it. I think it was a grand way to correct it!
This is the first time I've ever heard a single word of any of this. And no, it's not hard to imagine what could have happened.
I'm glad I had some new information for you. They day isn't wasted if you learned something new. :)
@@BradDison True
Guess there's probably a lot of other "unsung" heroes that we still are not aware of ....
You're absolutely right about that. Some we will never know about. Luckily, Mr. Harvey reminded us of this fine lady. :)
What an amazing bit of historical gold that should be mandatory content in our schools' history books! Thanks for sharing!
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. :)
This would have been a great story for Mike Rowe’s movie, “Something to Stand For”.
I haven't seen it. :)
Great video! Im a reenactor and civil war buff and somehow didn't know about her!!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the education!
Reenacting is a lot of fun. I have several friends who are Civil War reenactors. I'm glad you enjoyed the episode. :)
Thanks, Brad.
As usual, you continue to out-do yourself. When I think of the work that you and people like you do, (all of the digging) I get tired.
I did guess in the beginning that the subject would turn out to be either a woman or a teenager, since that was Mr. Harvey's game.
Anyhow, thanks for your dedication!
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. The digging, although tiresome, is so much fun. To find a clue and learn something that has been lost or forgotten is an absolute thrill. And to get the hear Mr. Harvey's voice as he tells the tale just makes it that much better. Thank you for all that you do as well, my friend. :)
Years ago Paul Harvey did a rest of the story tribute shortly after Audrey Hepburn (NOT Katherine) died. I wonder if there is still a copy of that story still available? There was a secret line in the movie " Charade " that was an inside reference to her actions as a teen during WW2 for those in the cast and crew members and was not well known by the public. Most people let the line pass over their heads without notice.
I'll see if I have that one. Thank you for the comment. :)
Too bad my Great Aunt Sadavieo Goddin passed away in 1995 at the age of 90. We always called her Aunt Davie.
She was an art teacher for years in Schools in hometown of Elkins, WV and county of Randolph County, WV. Even though she taught art she was also a Lincoln Scholar. She got as many articles, books, busts and other stuff she could on Abraham Lincoln. I really wish I could ask her if she knew this. This is the first time I remember hearing this information on Lincoln.
I was amazed. But i am not totally shocked about it being a woman either. I understand the quietness around it. Not just her being a woman though i am sure it was the main reason. But just think if the Confederates would have known. They would probably attempted to take her life.
Thank you and God bless you..
That's nice to hear that your Great Aunt was a Lincoln Scholar. Lincoln has always interested me as well, more than most. You're right. Had the Confederacy learned about her, she would've become a huge target. I'm glad you enjoyed watching/listening. :)
talk about a well kept secret. I had the complete works of Lincoln and don't remember a mention of her.
I had never heard of her either. :)
It helped that he could draft people as they came off the ships to become Americans
Conscription must've been a difficult pill to swallow. :)
Wiki: "Yet research published in 2004 unveiled new sources, primarily Maryland political histories and Lincoln administration records, that analyze the Maryland Know Nothing party in a new progressive light. These materials generally support (but slightly diminish) Carroll's role in the Tennessee River campaign.[6] A plan nearly identical to Carroll's was printed in the New York Times two weeks prior to the date Carroll said she sent her plan to the War Department in Washington; a similar version was printed in late December. Original sources found in Carroll's papers, housed in the Maryland State Archives, remain problematic as source material. Many of them, purportedly from leading politicians of the time, are in her handwriting, a distinctive scrawl."
We have to be careful when using Wikipedia as a source. That being said, this does point out something. Not everything is as it appears. Ms. Carroll's role may have been much larger than we know or much smaller. We will never know for sure. Thanks for the comment. :)
@@BradDison How about Encyclopedia Britannica?: " In 1870, however, she claimed it herself and petitioned Congress for payment. By various questionable means she secured affidavits from a number of prominent persons, and apparently altered many of the documents to strengthen their positions."
What shall we believe? That two encyclopedia's are false, or that an untrained woman was the savior of the Union war effort?
BTW $50,000 was two times Abe Lincoln's annual salary.
If anyone deserved the $50,000, it was Gideon Wells.
Paul Harvey pic up line how's your hole. Famliy.
Blahahahahaha. That's a good one. :)
