         Nobody at that time was making a living wrestling in the way we 
think of it today, but back then just about every man who could engaged in 
it just for sport, Lincoln included. Since Lincoln was a physically awesome 
specimen in an age where almost everyone lived by the sweat of their brow, 
he was rather famously good at it.
