Daniel Drew.

Daniel Drew was born on a farm in Carmel, New York, in 1797. He grew up poor and virtually illiterate, as did most children of small farmers at that time. During the War of 1812, President James Madison began to draft men into the military; those who did not want to fight were offering $100 to people who would take their place. Regarding this as easy money, Drew became an army substitute. He served three months but saw no combat.
