Wilson, who, before he became spokes¬ 
man in his second administration for the 
whole world and until he broke down at 
Wichita, Kansas, in September of 1919, 
on his Western tour explaining to his 
countrymen the League of Nations, liked 
to roam the Virginia hills for quail. 
Washington was a mere lad when he 
began his hunting career, his first hunt 
being a fox meet, a sport that he con¬ 
tinued even after the American Revolu¬ 
tion was ended. Washington was a 
duck hunter, too. His last deer hunt 
was in 1785, when he killed a buck 
weighing 146 pounds. 
Jefferson, too, was a fox-hunter, and, 
like the first President, began early in 
life. His hunting trips were mainly for 
pleasure and recreation. But with An¬ 
drew Jackson, he followed deer, wild 
turkeys and other game, doing his killing- 
more from necessity than for the 
pleasure of the hunt. 
William Henry Harrison, in whose 
campaign for the Presidency enormous 
processions and mass meetings were 
held for the first time, often called it the 
“log-cabin and hard cider campaign," 
because the eastern end of his home at 
North Bend, Ohio, consisted of a log 
cabin and “his table, instead of being 
covered with exciting wines, is well sup¬ 
plied with the best cider,” was handy 
with the rifle as were all the pioneers 
in the Northwestern territories. 
Zachary Taylor, “Old Rough and 
Ready,” loved to roam through the 
forests hunting and fishing, often camp¬ 
ing for days when in the pursuit 
of game. Pierce liked hunting, especially 
partridge, and, like Roosevelt, was an 
intense lover of nature. 
When Lincoln was born in Ilodgen- 
ville, Kentucky, February 12, 1809, 
much of that section of Kentucky was 
still a wilderness. When the boy was 
seven years old, his father removed to 
Indiana, settling in the rich and fertile 
forest country near Little Pigeon Creek, 
not far distant from the Ohio River. 
The President once said of this 
neighborhood: “It was a wild region, 
with many bears and other wild animals 
still in the woods.” Lincoln was fond 
of fishing and shooting but more fond of 
study. When Lincoln reached manhood, 
his father emigrated to Macon county, 
Illinois, where a cabin was erected. 
Lincoln aided his father in building the 
cabin, splitting the rails' to fence the 
farm. Thus he became known as the 
“rail splitter.” Lincoln was then six 
feet, four inches in stature and had ex¬ 
traordinary strength. Both Lincoln and 
Washington excelled all the other Pres¬ 
idents in height and physical strength; 
both were outdoorsmen. Lincoln was 
so physically fit, such a good shot and 
could hold his own so well that when the 
Black Hawk War broke out in 1832, he 
volunteered and was immediately made 
captain of his company.
