What did Mr. Lincoln enjoy doing?

[RJNorton]

Here are some recollections of Lincoln's legs. Source: The Physical Lincoln by Dr. John Sotos. (includes a few comments by Dr. Sotos regarding the truthfulness of the observations)

Herndon wrote, "Mr. Lincoln's remarkable strength resulted not so much from muscular power as from the toughness of his sinews. He could not only lift from the ground enormous weight, but could throw a cannon-ball or a maul farther than anyone else in New Salem. I heard him explain once how he was enabled thus to excel others. He did not attribute it to a greater proportion of physical strength, but contended that because of the unusual length of his arms the ball or projectile had a greater swing and therefore acquired more force and momentum than in the hands of an average man."
