Information:

"Captain Thomas Jefferson was no ordinary man. He was a man of gigantic stature and strength - plain and averse to display - he was grave, tactirun, slow to make, and not over prompt to accept, advances. He was one of those calmly and almost sternly self-relying men, who lean on none - who desire help from none. And he certainly had both muscles and mind which could be trusted. He could simultaneously "head-up" (raise from their sides to an upright position) two hogsheads of tobacco. He once directed three able-bodied slaves to pull down a ruinous shed by means of a rope. After they had made the effort, again and again, he bade them stand aside, seized the rope, and dragged down the structure in an instant." [field]
