- Edmund Lincoln: I was born at Black River Falls.
Move around with my folks
wherever they could make their living.
Then in the fall, we come to cranberry marshes.
That's where I got started raking cranberries by hand.
It's pretty hard on the back, you know?
You stoop down to reach the berries.
At first, we used to rake 10 hours a day.
And then after a while, they cut down to 8 hours.
Even that was too long.
Well, that's the only way I could keep a life
and have something to eat
and have something to wear, you know.
Worked like a horse, mule. [laughing]
But then, we had to do it to earn our living.
