REVERSE TEXT: KENTUCKY
KENTUCKY was included in the royal grants to Virginia, and from time to time her adventurous hunters and the mountaineers of North Carolina explored parts of the empty land. In 1769 Daniel Boone and John Findley entered this region and remained for two years. In 1770 Washington visited northeastern Kentucky, and Col. Knox and his long hunters explored other parts. Harodsburg was established in 1774, and the next year Boone founded the fort Boonesborough, bringing to it his wife and daughters.
In 1776 Kentucky became a county of Virginia. The annals of the region for many years are lurid with Indian attacks and massacres; the sieges of the American fortified stations, and the bloody frays of the fierce northern savages and the British troops from Canada. In 1806 the mysterious scheme of Aaron Burr for conquering a southwestern empire out of Spain's colonies was under way, but the vast majority of the people and their leaders remained loyal and law-abiding. And so this consipracy came to naught, and Kentucky, in due time, attained the honors of Statehood.
The Kentuckians have always been a martial race. Since the war flags were furled, Kentucky has made great advances in prosperity and wealth, building many important railways and beautifying her cities. The larger development of her coal and iron mines, now just beginning, bids fair to be of vast value and significance. Of late years there has been a series of bloody vendettas between families of the mountaineers of Pike, Rowan and other counties, and detachments of militia have been sent up there from time to time to restore transient order.
