01
Artifact Overview
Frank Dorrance Hopley (1872-1933) authored stories and articles for national magazines and newspapers. In 1921, Hopley had an idea for an article--he would ask famous individuals to share their life's most thrilling moment. The noted religious writer Reverend David James Burrell wrote that he still felt a tingle when he remembered shaking Abraham Lincoln's hand over sixty years earlier.
