| It took five giant storks, working overtime, to deliver him to his parents! Three hours after his birth he was reported to weigh a full eighty pounds and they used a lumber wagon drawn by a team of oxen as a baby carriage. His baby voice was described as "sort of a cross between a buzz saw and a base drum". He cut his teeth on a peevy pole and grew so fast that after one week he had to wear his father's clothes. He would eat forty bowls of porridge just to whet his appetite. His lungs were so strong that he could empty a whole pond of frogs with one "holler". |
