Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln, Inventor

On the morning of the departure the little settlement of New Salem nestling on a. High bluff of the Sangamon River, below the scene of the boat building operations, awoke to its usual simple and somewhat humdrum tasks. But here was an extraordinary event. A rough but ready and deeply weighted argosy came ponderously into view, riding the swollen river and guided by poles and steering oar in the hands of three young fresh water sailors. Quite naturally word of the novel sight spread and the inhabitants collected to gaze on the passage of this rare craft bound on to the turn of the river and the unknown world beyond. Alas they were to gaze longer than they expected.
