And so he goes to New York.
He looks for work during the day.
And at night he has to sleep on the streets.
And so we see some of his innate intelligence at this point because he's like, well, everybody's in New York doing the exact same thing I'm trying to do.
I should find a different city to go to.
And because he speaks German and he knows there's a large German population in St.
Louis, he decides to go there.
And so as you can imagine, he will take any possible job he can get.
One of the first jobs he gets is to take care of a bunch of mules.
And he has a hilarious way to describe this later in life.
He says, never in my life did I have a more trying task.
The man who has not cared for 16 mules does not know what work and trouble are.
And over the next few years, he takes any possible job he can get.
He'll do a lot of physical labor.
He'll work on a riverboat.
He'll get a bunch of jobs in construction.
And he even tried working as a waiter.
And again, this goes back to something that reappears throughout his life story.
He's got a fiery temper.
On multiple occasions, he gets into arguments once he's a newspaper publisher and literally draws a gun and shoots at people.
