Sarah Lusk was a brave pioneer woman who founded the town of Golconda, first called Sarahville, a century and a quarter ago. She established the first ferry across the Ohio River at this place and operated it with the aid of her young son and a faithful colored woman. Her rifle was always at hand to protect the passengers from the dangers that lurked on every side.
