Abe Lincoln: America's First "Coolster"?

Historians recently came up with a strange little fact. It appears that Abe Lincoln was the first famous person ever to use the word "cool" to describe something. Wow! Many people think that this slang term dates back to the 1950's beatnik era or even the later 60's hippie scene. But no way, Jose. Old Honest Abe is the man. Can you dig it?

No word on whether the great president wore shades around his Oval Office digs, or whether he ended slavery because it just wasn't "cool".
