Of course, when I came of age I
did not know much. Still, some
how, I could read, write and cipher
to the rule of three, but that was
all. I have not been to school
since. The little advance I now
have upon this store of education
was picked up from time to time
under the pressure of necessity. I
was raised to farm work, at which
I continued until I was twenty

that time in Sangamon, now in
Menara county, where I remained
a year as a sort of clerk in a store.
Then came the lilack Hawk war,
and I was elected captain of vol- i
unteers a success which gave me
more pleasure than any I have had !
since.
