Surveying
Fact: |
President Abraham Lincoln was a professional surveyor.
His career as a surveyor lasted only a few years. His
projects included government surveys, road surveys, town
lots, and private surveys. Financially, there were
difficulties and at one point his equipment was sold at
auction to satisfy a debt. A farmer named John Short
bought the items for $120 and returned them to Lincoln.
The instruments passed through several owners and are
now on display at "Lincoln's New Salem State Historic
Site".
