 Despite the following occurrences, Lincoln's health up until middle age was fairly good for his day.When he was nine years old, Lincoln was kicked in the head by a horse at the Noah Gordon Mill and was knocked unconscious for several hours.Other injuries or trauma throughout his life include having cut his hand with an axe at least once, incurred frostbite of his feet in 1830–1831, was struck by his wife (apparently on multiple occasions), and was clubbed on the head during a robbery attempt in 1828.
