I want this to be information one just usually doesn’t hear. If you have I would like to know if you haven’t all the better you’ve learned something today. With that being said here is the information for you to consider today.

While I’m on the subject of U.S. Presidents did you know that Abraham Lincoln 1809-1865 was the only President who was also a licensed bartender? Happened to be a co-owner in a bar in Springfield, IL. I wonder if he could make a good Margarita the drink of choice for the wife.

Now go out and tell the world of your new found knowledge. Smile it will make people wonder what you’ve been up to. Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith. Click on the link below. Who knows you may learn something along the way and some of the words may even bring a smile to your face.

Good morning, James..... imagine if they had the variety of martinis then that they do today....I'm sure it was just a slammer and a shooter sitting on the counter....

Conrad you are so funny or I didn't explain myself correctly. I would suspect the latter. When I mentioned the wife I was talking about my own. Not his.....

James, a licensed bartender? Did they have occupational licenses back then? Just asking? Enjoy your day!

Good morning James,

A profession one should have in their resume; and only if he had the right salt.

Make yourself a great day.

I don't know about that one, James, I mean do you have to be licensed to be a bartender and, moreover, did you have to be licensed as a bartender in 1809 to 1865?

James- truly did not know that. Perhaps it helped to make him a good listener.
