I had seen the picture of Mary Lincoln before, but I didn't make the connection until you mentioned taking advantage of families of dead soldiers during the civil war. I had considered medical quackery, but that didn't quite fit (and really didn't involve technology—quite the opposite). I then got to seances, then remembered the "ghost photos." Took a bit, though.

Okay, mine is from the 1st Century BC, now Northern Italy, non-military.

No. He had a local governing position, but that was more about his family's prominence than anything else.

He was pretty cheeky in his profession.

Not a philosopher.

Hint: He often wrote about a woman he was obsessed with.
