LINCOLN’S FIRST DOLLAR
When Abraham Lincoln was a boy he went down the river in a boat to carry a load of truck to market. He stood by the river bank, after he had sold his bacon and vegetables. A steamboat was coming down the river.
Two men who wished to go on board the steamer asked Abraham to row them out. He did so, and as they climbed on board they left in his hand two half dollars.
It was the first money he had ever earned, and Abraham was a very proud, happy boy.
