None would deny he was an excellent wrestler, a swift cornhusker, and told a funny story better than most. But apart from the fact that he could read and write, his new Salem neighbors didn't feel he had any qualifications to be Deputy Surveyor of Sangamon Kadi.

He didn't know a chain from a Succumbraenter or a Logarithm from either. But here this morning they'd seen him start out on foot bright and early to walk 20 miles to Springfield to ask a Democrat for a job he didn't know the first thing about.

But that's how he did. That was Abe Lincoln. Yes? I've come to see Mr. Calhoun, ma'am. Is he expecting you? Yes ma'am, I wrote him. Look, come in, come in.

Thank you. John, John. Yeah? There's a young man here to see you. He says you're expecting him. Well, I don't recall anyone. It's me, Mr. Calhoun. Hey, well, how are you? Good enough, thank you, sir.
