         <p> According to Nat Grigsby, Lincoln's boyhood friend who gave his
            recollections to Herndon in 1865, Lincoln speaks at "Carlin township about
            three-quarters of a mile from the home farm," and at Rockport and Gentryville on this
            stumping tour. This must have been the day, if not Thursday or Friday, for Carlin
