" Young as I
was, I was possessed of an art which was of great use. It was that of weaving
shot-pouch straps, belts and garters. I could make my loom and weave a belt in
less than one day. Having a piece of board about four feet long, an inch
auger, spike gimlet, and a drawing knife, I needed no other tools or materials
for making my loom. It frequently happened that my weaving proved serviceable
to the family, as I often sold a belt for a day's work, or making a hundred
rails. So that although a boy, I could exchange my labour
for that of a full grown person for an equal length of
time".
