Of course, Boudes Ferry, or, as it's sometimes 
written, Boudesferry, isn't in Northern Kentucky,
 it's in Ohio, directly across the river from Augusta.

Higginsport's John R. Young, when the flood waters of 1883 "were coming in his front door on Front Street, remarked that he 'was there first and proposed to fight the d__n river out if it took all spring.' But poor John had to turn up his toes and skip in his john boat to fields new and pastures green."
