western part Of North Caro-
lima until the year 1906; then
Samuel Polk, the father of the
future President, with his wife
and children, emigrated some two
or three hundred miles further
west to the rich valley of the Ten
nessee. Samuel Polk was a plain,
unpretentious farmer, but of an
enterprising character, and, at
tracted by the glorious accounts of
the fertile valleys of Tennessee, he
determined to move thither and
achieve a competence for himself.
Having purchased a quantity of
land Samuel Polk employed him
self in it's cultivation; following,
at intervals, the occupation of sur
veyor. In the hard toll of a new
farm in the wilderness, James X.

childhood and his youth. Not only
did he assist his father in the
management of the farm, but was
also his almost constant companion
in his surveying excursions. They
were frequently absent for weeks
together, treading the dense for
ests and traversing the rough
cane-brakes which then covered
the face of the country, and ex-
posed to all the changes of the
weather, and the dangers and the
vicissitudes of life in the woods.
On these occasions, it was the duty
of James to take care of the pack
horses and the camp equipage, and
