II
When arrived in Kentucky, and es-
pecially as l neared the region Of Lin
coins birth, network Of interviewer
legends and traditions confronted me.
I dug my way patiently through clerks
records in obscure courthouses; read
the faded pages Of family history in
musty old Bibles; struggled over and
by dint of untiring effort deeiphered Gu
riously spelled and dinly written let
tiers; fathomed my way through the
files of old newspapers; followed down
the never ending lanes of neighborhood
and baekwoods lore; 1 interviewed
scores Of witnesses Of every age and con.
dition in life, and, in word, searched
for facts and data till it seemed, at
least, as if my head and heart were
equally filed with the subject of my in
yestigations.
Each locality had its tradition, and
many of them were equally curious and
amusing. The rancor of sectional strife
furnished an atmosphere in which some
of them, feeding on their own inconsist-
encies, grew to the dignity of glorious
falsehoods.
1t would no doubt surprise the reader
to learn how many different and ridic-
ulous stories regarding Mr.. Lincoln &
origin and paternity were at one time
and another current in Kentucky. Mr..
Hernden. who visited that locality early
in 1865, met and disposed of many, but
even as late as my visit some of them
were still aheat in the currents and ed
dies Of local history. The one most per-
sistently adhered to and the one with
the least preposterous features about it
was the Inloe on Enlow legend. 1 met
it in Hardin and Larue counties, and
later in somewhat modified form it
bobbed up again in another part of the
state. Here are a few lines written in
1865 by man who knew all the Lin
coins and Hankses and En1oes in Hardin
county and who was a lawyer and judge
of the court there. l copy from the
original MS:
