Lincoln, "I belong to what they call *the scrubs' down South. *'We had raised, chiefly by my labor, suf- ficient produce, as I thought, to justify me in taking it down the river to sell. After much persuasion, I got the consent of my mother to go. I constructed a little flat boat large enough to take a barrel or two of things that we had gathered, down to the nearest market. We had, you know, no wharves on the Western streams; and the custom was, if passengers were at any of the landings, for t...hem to go out in a boat, the steamer stopping and taking them on board, *'I was contemplating my new flat boat, and wondering whether I could make it stronger, or improve it in any particular, 42 The Story of Lincoln. when two men came down to the shore in carriages with trunks, and looking at the different boats singled out mine, and asked, 'Who owns this?'
