Informed that Dodge was one of the most knowledgeable men in America about railroad building, Lincoln insisted on an introduction and then fired questions at Dodge until, as Dodge said later, "He shelled my woods completely and got all the information I'd collected."<br /><br />The point is that Lincoln was curious and hungry for knowledge about the great issues and challenges facing America, which is one of the reasons he was such an effective president.
