Lincoln’s 1816 to 1817 Kentucky to Indiana Migration
The narrative follows Thomas Lincoln and family as they leave Kentucky for what becomes Indiana. It describes arranging transport with whisky aboard a rafts, rough wilderness travel toward the Lincoln farm, and building a bare cabin on Little Pigeon Creek. It recounts water scarcity, illness, and the 1828 milk sickness that claimed neighbors, then Lincoln’s remarriage to Sally Johnston and the help from Betsy Sparrow and Dennis Hanks, including the rough furnishings and hardships of frontier life.
