Springfield two governors Of Illinois.

Joseph Duncan, Of Jacksonville. They
often came to our city, both we'll
dressed. Each came in his carriage.
Mr.. Lincoln, up to this time, had only
been q captain OF volunteers in the
Black Hawk Indian war. and one term
a member of the legislature. He did
not look to me then like a prospective
governor. But 1t seems that my faith
er's foresight was much better than
his sons vision, for In a little over 20
years this poorly clad and unknown
young man was h imperial ruler Of Ii
country of $4,000. 900 people, command
ing an army of 1000. 900 men-a moro

caesar or Napoleon ever marshaled in

Major John 7. Stuart. Here he had to
