there in 1881 ga stranger, HriendlesS,
uneducated, penniless boy" as he
himself put it. In 1887 he left to
practice law in Springfield. 1t was
during those six momentous years
that he earned his nickname of
Honest Abe;" that he studied gram
mar and law; that he was clerk
and storekeeper, deputy surveyor
and postmaster; that he served as
captain in the Black Hawk War;
that he was defeated for the legis-
