Excuse the black spots.

    The lanky, six-foot-four, long-limbed Abraham Lincoln was a good wrestler in his youth, sparring in some 300 contests --- and only being bested once (fighting a soldier from another unit during the Black Hawk War). According to biographer Carl Sandburg, young Abe once beat an opponent and then challenged the assembled audience: "I'm the big buck of this lick. If any of you want to try it, come on and whet your horns." None obliged.

    Lincoln is honored as an "Outstanding American" in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

    Please don't feed the troll.

    Don't submit using the three day submission just in case it comes back not as worthy as it might be. Send under regular submission and please show us a picture when you have done so. Thanks in advance.
