Ostensibly, this woman might "possibly" have been a member of Lincoln's cabinet...there was an HBO flick on here, wherein was suggested that she actually suggested the Vicksburg campaign to Lincoln personally...whether it's true has been debated for.over 150 yrs now, however, there's a very famous painting of Lincoln with his cabinet, showing an empty chair that's also been long thought to have represented her, I didn't know if you'd all heard the story, if you've all never seen the film, it's quite good, actually, a frequently overlooked aspect.of.Civil War history....
