What did Mr. Lincoln enjoy doing?

[Troy Cowan]

It seems to me that Lincoln's age would be important consideration.

When Lincoln was a child he enjoyed fishing, as an adult he would not go near a fishing pole.

As a teenager just learning to read, he read anything he could get his hands on. As an adult he read to obtain information. He did not read for pleasure. He did not read the popular books of his day.

In his twenties he wore a arm band of white cloth around his arm indicating he was willing and ready to fight.

In his thirties and forties he wrote and rewrote essays and speeches to obtain the maximum impact.

In his fifties I believe that he enjoyed anything to get his mind off the war, like attending the theatre.

There is one thing he enjoyed doing his entire life, and that was telling stories. He even enjoyed telling dirty stories.
