Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Illinois Bar Forty Years Ago: Lincoln and Douglas as Orators and Lawyers
A great Whig Convention was held in this City during Court, and the people came in throngs from every part of the State. Chicago sent a large delegation, at the head Of which were John H. Kinzie, Gurdon S. Hubbard, Geo. W. Dole, and others, and, as the representatives of the commercial capital of the State, they brought with them a full-rigged ship on wheels. It was the first full-rigged ship that many of the natives Of the interior Of Illinois had ever seen, and it was, of course, a great curiosity. The delegation were supplied with tents and provisions with plenty Of good cider, and camped out at night upon the prairies.
