Having learned the basics, Lincoln set out with his compass, 66-foot chain, marking pins, range poles, plumb bobs, stakes, and ax to pursue his new calling. When a friend told him he needed a horse, Lincoln demurred, saying he “was somewhat of a ‘hoss’ himself.” For a time he borrowed a mount from Jack Armstrong; eventually he bought one, along with a bridle and saddle, on credit.
