Saga of Samson Traylor and the New Salem Visit
A fragmented 19th century narrative recounts Samson Traylor and family journeying from Vermont to the Sangamon region via Niagara Falls, meeting Abe Lincoln at New Salem, and facing an armed Missouri retaliator. A clash with a bucker led to a dramatic barn door brawl and medical aid for a wounded foe. Lincoln contemplates slavery and vows restraint, while Traylor aids a wounded companion and Abe reads a book by the store.
