Book excerpt: Excerpt from Centennial Report of the Business of Louisville, Ky., The Cities of New Albany and Jeffersonville, Ind., And the Mineral and Agricultural Resources of the State of Kentucky, 1876 In compliance with the action of a public meeting of the citizens of Louisville held recently at the Manufacturers and Mechanics' Ex change appointing a committee to examine into and prepare for general distribution throughout the United States and Europe a brief summary of the mineral, agricultural, commercial, manufacturing, and other resources of our city and state, we beg leave to submit this report, believing the statements made herein will furnish substantial evidences that no city in the United States presents advantages superior to those of Louisville for manufactories of every class. It is proper to say in this connection that while Louisville ranks among the largest and best regulated cities Of America, no extended effort has ever been made with a view to the. Advertising of its resources or the advantages, of its geographical position, although it is fully admitted that no city on the continent is so fortunate in the possession of cheap coal and iron, of proximity to such vast forests of' the finest walnut, oak, hickory, ash, and other timber, and of a location by which merchants and manufacturers are enabled to reach a larger portion Of the United States by railroads and navigable rivers than can any other city.
