There are many different accounts, some of which are almost assuredly embellished to some extent. Thanks for the suggestion, Roger. I'll have to check out Douglas Wilson's book to read more about it. I suppose it makes sense that there isn't a definitive answer as to who won the match. The greater lesson is that both men came to respect each other as a result. I have such fond memories of visiting New Salem as a kid and on my 8th-grade class field trip to the Springfield area. Reading Joe Di Cola's book over Christmas break made me wish I still lived in Illinois so I could revisit the place with this book as my guide. |
