Excerpt from A History of Kentucky: Embracing Gleanings, Reminiscences, Antiquities, Natural Curiosities, Statistics, and Biographical Sketches of Pioneers, Soldiers, Jurists, Lawyers, Statesman, Divines, Mechanics, Farmers, Merchants, and Other Leading Men, of All Occupations and Pursuits Much of the primitive history Of Kentucky, which would be exceedingly interesting even to the youth Of this day, is now forever lost, and lies buried with those venerable wit nesses who have long since passed from earth to that bourn from which there is no return. Many mementoes of the past, however, both useful and interesting to the rising generation, have been collected and preserved by the author, and will, in future, occupy a conspicuous place in history. Many things recorded in this volume were delivered me in my youth from the lips Of my venerated father, and from my uncle, and others who participated in the scenes of those times, and which would, probably, have ever been lost had it not been for my predilection for such knowledge.
