Okay, I have a wooden house link to the first ever friend of the podcast.

James Garfield.

James Garfield.

Everyone was obsessed with saying they had been born in a log cabin.

If you were standing for president, it was almost a requirement of the job that you had to say, well, I was born in a log cabin, of course.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

So Lincoln, there is a Lincoln Memorial log cabin replica inside a national park, which is inside a massive stone temple that was built to Lincoln.

It's incredibly weird.

But basically, you had to do it.

Like Rutherford B. Hayes grew up in a great big house, but it had a log extension.

So he was able to claim log cabin status.

James Garfield, I think, was the final president born in a log cabin in 1831.

That's cool.

And I just found a little side fact about him.

So he was shot.

Ate everything.

Through his anus.

After he was shot, he was taken to the White House.

And it was decided that he would do much better if he had a seaside holiday.

That he needed to be taken to a seaside location.
