He then traveled by steamboat down the Ohio and up the Mississippi rivers, to St. Louis, and from there to Sangamon coun- ty, to visit his mother, arriving in July, IS32. He was returning to his brother in
Ohio, and had reached St. Louis, when he discovered that he had only five dollars. That would pay for a deck passage on a steamboat, but he lacked a single dollar to buy food for the trip; and for want of that the whole course of his life was changed. He found work in St. Louis at his trade as a boot and shoe maker. But when he had saved fourteen dollars, there was no farther employment for him. By this time he abandoned the idea of returning to Ohio, because he had heard so much said in favor of Ill.
