"He knew much about the cost of things, the details of trade, the principles of mechanics, and the habits of animals, all of which showed the activity of his mind and the odd turn of his thoughts."

When I read this quote, my first thought was Lincoln. But I didn't think an "odd turn of his thoughts" suited the president. This is just a thought, could it be one of Lincoln's sons? I've heard Tad had odd behavior, I'll take a stab and guess him. Is it Tad Lincoln?????
