"The journey was long and tedious" narrates one of Lincoln's biographers, "the streams swollen and the roads muddy almost to the point of impassibility. The rude, heavy wagon with its primitive wooden wheels creaked and groaned as it crawled through the woods and now and then stalled in the mud. Many were the delays, but none ever disturbed the equanimity of its pas- sengers. They were cheerful in the face of adversity, hopeful and determined; but none of them more so than the tall, ungainly yo...uth in buck-skin breeches and coon-skin cap who wielded the gad and urged his patient oxen forward. As they entered the new State little did the curious people in the various towns through which they passed dream that the obscure and penniless driver who yelled his commands to the oxen would yet become the Chief Magistrate of the greatest nation of modern times. " So much for history. And now let us tell the story of our investigation and recount the reasons that have led us to determine what particular route these obscure and forlorn emigrants must have followed when they made their way in March, 1830, through our State from the Ohio to the Wabash; more specifically that part of the journey which stretches between the Linclon Farm near Gentryville, In Spencer County, and the city of Vincennes, where they crossed the Wabash into Illinois.
