Correct! Now, for $10,000 Nigerian and the pretend new car, name the daughter of Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury. (hint: they named a D.C. suburb after her.)

Hmm...let me try.

Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury was Salmon P. Chase, and he had a daughter named Kate. Although, I can't think of any DC suburbs named after her. I know Chevy Chase, MD is just north of DC, but I don't think that's the town you're thinking of.

gotta be Alexandria Chase. Never even heard of her until I read Vidal's LINCOLN. I believe there is a photograph of her presenting the Medal of Honor to Arthur MacArthur FWIW
