Lincoln and Davis Allies in Black Hawk War Tale
A Kentucky born Abe Lincoln and Jeff Davis met as 23 year old volunteers in 1832 during the Black Hawk War. Davis lent Lincoln a sabre which Lincoln wore through his service, though he faced no combat. The tale frames their early bond before divergent paths led to Civil War opposing fronts. Adapted from Comes An Echo on the Breeze by Edward J. Ryan.
