Our American Stories: Abe Lincoln, the Wrestler
Wednesday, June 17th, 2020 | Books, Radio, Wrestling | No Comments
At just 22 years of age, Abraham Lincoln wrestled Jack Armstrong, older and considered the toughest man in the area. Many biographers of Lincoln have felt it was a turning point in the life of the man destined to become one of the greatest figures in history.
On the nationally-syndicated radio talk show “Our American Stories” (which has an estimated 2.5 million listeners each day), Mike spent 20 minutes discussing the match in 1831 between Lincoln and Armstrong, in the tiny frontier village of New Salem, Illinois.

For more about this historic event, you can purchase the booklet “The Sport of Lincoln” which was written by Mike in 2003. It contains lots of artwork about the match. The booklet is $5 plus $4 for S&H.
