Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to Lexington, Kentucky: With Notices Historical and Descriptive of Places and Objects of Interest, and a Summary of the Advantages and Resources of the City and Vicinity No American city of its age can more justly claim the attention of the tourist than Lexington. It is rich in historic associations, is a complete epitome of Old Kentucky life and manners, and is surrounded by all the attractions of a region which, for pastoral beauty and fertility, is unsurpassed upon the face of the globe. Almost in its suburbs is the site of Bryant's Station, so celebrated for the siege it sustained at the hands of the British and the Indians a hundred years ago; noted old Boonsborough, and the tragic battle field of Blue Licks arc not far distant, and within half an hour's ride from the city stands the highest pier bridge in the world in the midst of the wild and magnificent scenery of that wonderfully picturesque river - the battlemented Kentucky. Lexington, the seat of justice of Fayette County, and the social and commercial capital of the famous "Blue Grass Region," is situated in what Bancroft styles, "the unrivaled valley of Elkhorn creek," and is, by rail, ninety-four miles east of Louisville and eighty miles south of Cincinnati. Her population is about twenty thousand. The streets, which are laid off at right angles, are adorned with handsome business houses and private residences, and the splendid macadamized roads, which radiate from the city in every direction, lead the tourist to landscapes strikingly English in appearance, dotted with veritable "Old Kentucky Homes." and with extensive stock-breeding establishments, where herds of thoroughbred cattle graze, and from whence have gone forth most of the noted blood horses of America. The annual sales of horses and cattle Held here are the most extensive of their kind in the world. Lexington has ten newspapers, four of which are daily; twenty-two churches, and twenty-three educational institutions, including one university, a new State College, a Commercial College, three large female seminaries, and flourishing public and private schools. Her railroad facilities have lately been greatly increased, and the outlook of the city is exceedingly encouraging. Trade which has heretofore been heaviest in grain, groceries, dry goods, whisky, hemp and live stock is opening new channels and extending and taking on a far more enterprising phase.

Book Synopsis How Kentucky Became Southern by : Maryjean Wall
Download or read book How Kentucky Became Southern written by Maryjean Wall and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conflicts of the Civil War continued long after the conclusion of the war: jockeys and Thoroughbreds took up the fight on the racetrack. A border state with a shifting identity, Kentucky was scorned for its violence and lawlessness and struggled to keep up with competition from horse breeders and businessmen from New York and New Jersey. As part of this struggle, from 1865 to 1910, the social and physical landscape of Kentucky underwent a remarkable metamorphosis, resulting in the gentile, beautiful, and quintessentially southern Bluegrass region of today. In her debut book, How Kentucky Became Southern: A Tale of Outlaws, Horse Thieves, Gamblers, and Breeders, former turf writer Maryjean Wall explores the post–Civil War world of Thoroughbred racing, before the Bluegrass region reigned supreme as the unofficial Horse Capital of the World. Wall uses her insider knowledge of horse racing as a foundation for an unprecedented examination of the efforts to establish a Thoroughbred industry in late-nineteenth-century Kentucky. Key events include a challenge between Asteroid, the best horse in Kentucky, and Kentucky, the best horse in New York; a mysterious and deadly horse disease that threatened to wipe out the foal crops for several years; and the disappearance of African American jockeys such as Isaac Murphy. Wall demonstrates how the Bluegrass could have slipped into irrelevance and how these events define the history of the state. How Kentucky Became Southern offers an accessible inside look at the Thoroughbred industry and its place in Kentucky history.
