RE: What did Mr. Lincoln enjoy doing?
And speaking of Lincoln the lawyer making his rounds on the circuit, here is a little story from the book The Wit And Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln by Anthony Gross:

While walking along a dusty road in Illinois in his circuit days Lincoln was overtaken by a stranger driving to town. "Will you have the goodness to take my overcoat to town for me?" asked Lincoln. "With pleasure; but how will you get it again?" "Oh, very readily. I intend to remain in it," was Lincoln's prompt reply.
