Abraham Lincoln's Past

Before his political career, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, was known for his impressive wrestling skills. Standing at 6'4", he was tall, strong, and agile—qualities that gave him an edge in the ring, which led to his induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. According to historical accounts, Lincoln participated in roughly 300 matches and lost only one. His most famous bout took place in New Salem, Illinois, where he defeated a local wrestling champion and earned widespread respect! Got fun facts for us?
