"It was a time when few men got more than a mile or two from their door, unless following the sea of the fishing, but I was a restless one, moving about and working wherever an extra hand might be needed." (from Sackett's Land, by Louis L'Amour)
I don't know how true this statement is, but I suspect it is correct in general, if not in specifics. In that day, most poor folks got as far as they could walk. Their world was very small.
