Height: as a child, Lincoln was tall, describing himself as "though very young, he was large of his age."[32] He reached his adult height of 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) no later than age 21. Weight: although well-muscled as a young adult, he was always thin. Questionable evidence says Lincoln weighed over 200 pounds (90 kg) in 1831,[33] but this is inconsistent with the emphatic statement of Henry Lee Ross ("The facts are Lincoln never weighed over 175 pounds in his life"),[34] the recollection of David Turnham ("weighed about 160 lbs in 1830"),[35] and a New Salem neighbor named Camron ("thin as a beanpole and ugly as a scarecrow").
