Text Appearing After Image:
HODGENS MILL AND DAM ON NOLINS CREEK.Three miles from Lincolns birthplace; town of Hodgensville in the background. the boys in blue was Kentucky saved to the Union by the wisdom andpatience and will of Abraham Lincoln, himself a Kentucky boy. Thats so, said Bert; he was bom in Kentucky, was nt he ? And sowas Jefferson Davis, too. Yes; some miles southwest of us, in Todd County. From this region,by the way, came also Mrs. Lincoln, whose name was Mary Todd. Strange,is nt it, how lines of coincidence cross? Uncle Tom answered. But, as Iwas saying, I esteem the saving of Kentucky by Abraham Lincoln one of hischief claims to greatness. It was a triumph of sound judgment and inex-haustible patience. No other man — not Clay himself, the great pacificator-could have achieved the beneficent ends aimed at and attained here inKentucky by Lincoln, the great emancipator, whose early home lies not faraway from the very region we are now traversing. Oh, are we so near his birthplace? cried Roger.
