Excerpt from The Daviess County Lincoln Highway Association's Brief in Support of the Lincoln Route Through Daviess County, Indiana: Presented to the Indiana Lincoln Highway Commission First. The road We do not think, in View of the indisputable facts relative to the existence of the road, of Reeder's Ferry and of the long-continued use of Apraw Ford for possibly a century before 1830, that we need! To spend any time in argument on this branch of the subject, only to say to the commission that we are ready and able to point out the exact course of the road for almost every foot of the way. A few changes have been made in the Portersville road since Abraham Lin coln drove his yoke of oxen over it in March, 1830, but we can show where these changes have been made With the exception of only a few short distances, where the soil gives no evidence at this time of its use as a road.
