Lincoln, the Unknown / Линкольн, которого не знали
→The Virginia home of the Hanks family had been on a narrow
strip of land bounded on one side by the Rappahannock
River, on the other by the Potomac.

0 Дом семьи Хэнксов находился на узкой полосе земли, с одной стороны граничащей с рекой Раппаханок, с другой - Потомак.
→That was a long time ago, and the old records are meager:
they give only a few bare facts and no setting for the facts.
From them and from other sources, however, a probable story
can be reconstructed. The essential elements, at any rate, are
well established.

0 Записи, оставшиеся по этому делу, достаточно скудны, и всё что они дают - пара голых фактов и ничего более. Зато воспроизвести произошедшее можно из других источников, ибо там всё необходимое сохранилось.
→Among these indictments, there is one brought by the Grand
Jury on November 24, 1789, and reading as follows:
"Lucy Hanks for fornication."
This wasn't Lucy's first offense. The first had been years
before, back in Virginia.

0 Среди многих дел, одно числится 24 ноября 1789 года, и называется оно "Люси Хэнкс за внебрачную связь".
Этот проступок был для Люси не первым. Первый она совершила годами ранее в Вирджинии.

→The records of the Court of Quarter Sessions in Fort
Harrod repeatedly tell the pathetic story of some unfortunate
girl indicted for fornication "on information of Ann McGinty."
Seventeen cases were tried at Harrodsburg in the spring of 1783,
and eight were for fornication.

0 Записи заседаний суда присяжных Форт Харрода неоднократно повторяют трагичную историю невезучей девушки, обвиняемой в внебрачных связях "со слов Анны Мак Гинти". Из семнадцати рассмотренных в Гаррисберге дел 1783 года 8 были о такого рода связях.
→In those days fornication was an indictable offense, and
bastardy was a misdemeanor. And evidently there were few
other activities in life that gave Ann's shriveled soul more deep
and abiding satisfaction than uncovering the story of some suffering
girl's error, and then running to the Grand Jury with the
news.

0 В те дни прелюбодеяние считалось противозаконным, тем более рождение ребёнка вне брака. И Анна не смущалась, выслушав историю о мучительной ошибке некоторой особы, доносить её до присяжных. Для неё это было особым удовольствием.
→It was a tremendous discovery, and housewives traveled as
far as a hundred and fifty miles to sit in her cabin and learn
the new art. And as they spun and wove they talked. And they
didn't always talk about nettle lint and buffalo wool. Frequently
the conversation degenerated into gossip, and Ann McGinty's
cabin soon became the community's acknowledged clearinghouse
for scandal.

0 Её пошив стал широко известен, привлекая домохозяек отправляться в поездки за тысячу миль для обучения. Во время пряжки и плетения женские разговоры зачастую скатывались от тканей и шерсти до простых сплетен, из-за чего домик Анны стал известен своими скандалами.
→So it was well-nigh impossible to find
any substance from which clothes could be made. Then the
ingenious Ann McGinty found a way of spinning thread and
making "McGinty cloth" from two substances that were both
plentiful and cheap—nettle lint and buffalo wool.

0 В условиях почти полного отсутствия материалов для пошива одежды изобретательность помогла Анне создать собственную технологию "Одежда МакГинти" из крапивы и шерсти буйвола, которые можно было легко достать.
→But her real claim
to fame rests upon the fact that she performed an economic and
textile miracle. Cotton could be neither grown nor purchased
there in the mysterious Indian country, and timber-wolves
slaughtered the sheep.

0 Но её настоящий путь к успеху заключался в экономическом и текстильном чуде. В таинственной Индийской стране не было никакой возможности достать хлопок, во многом благодаря волкам, пожирающим овец.
