One of his playmates has furnished much that is of interest
in regard to the reputation which Lincoln left behind him in the
neighborhood where he passed his boyhood and much of his
youth. This witness says: 'Whenever the court was in
session he was a frequent attendant. John A. Breckenridge
was the foremost lawyer in the community, and was famed
as an advocate in criminal cases. Lincoln was sure to be
present when he spoke. Doing the chores in the morning, he
would walk to Booneville, the county seat of Warwick
County, seventeen miles away, then home in time to do the
chores at night, repeating this day after day."
