Download or read book Lexington written by Sharon R. Paeth and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally known as Saxe Gotha Township when it was created by the Colonial government in 1735, Lexington has a unique and rich history. The county began simply as a buffer between the city of Charleston and the Native Americans. Creative locals built a thriving business community in the area around the Congaree River in present-day Cayce, supporting trade between the colonists and the Native Americans. Emigrants from Germany and Switzerland were invited to become pioneers. They were independent, hard-working farmers who built the area into a strong and sustaining home despite numerous trials and tribulations. Native American wars, fires, Civil War, depressions, and world wars only solidified these settlers’ strong sense of ownership and pride in their county. Today visitors enjoy over 50 historical sites and recreation facilities.

Book Synopsis The History of Pioneer Lexington, 1779-1806 by : Charles R. Staples
Download or read book The History of Pioneer Lexington, 1779-1806 written by Charles R. Staples and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of Kentucky pioneer life, Charles R. Staples creates a colorful record of Lexington's first twenty-seven years. He writes of the establishment of an urban center in the midst of the frontier expansion, and in the process documents Lexington's vanishing history. Staples begins with the settlement of the town, describing its early struggles and movement toward becoming the "capitol" of Fayette County. He also presents interesting pictures of the early pioneers and their livelihood: food, dress, houses, cooking utensils, "house raisings," religious meetings, horse races, and other types of entertainment. First published in 1939, this reprint provides those interested in the early history of Kentucky with a comprehensive look at Lexington's pioneer period. Staples recreates a time when downtown's busiest streets were still wilderness and a land rich with agricultural potential was developing commercial elements. Because he wrote during a period when much of pioneer Lexington remained, he provides a wealth of primary information that could not be assembled again.
