Partly printed Document Signed by Andrew McCormick, 1pp. folio, November 28, 1841 pertaining to a bond. Very good condition. The Long Nine comes from the nickname given to Abraham Lincoln and eight others who represented Sangamon County in the Illinois General Assembly during the 1836-37 legislative session. All these men were at least six feet tall and shared similar political principles, hence the "long nine" appellation. The nine consisted of both senators and representatives: John Dawson, William F. Elkin, Ninian W. Edwards, Job Fletcher, Archer G. Herndon, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew McCormick, Daniel Stone, and Robert L. Wilson. Together they worked to move the state capital from Vandalia to Springfield, which is near Athens.
