Kentucky
The history and lore of Kentucky, along with Benton, is interwoven with legendary figures, stories,
and song. A sampling: Daniel Boone, explorer, hunter, and woodsman who cleared
the Wilderness Road and founded Fort Boonesborough; James Bowie, who designed
the Bowie knife, became a Texas Ranger, and later died at the Alamo; Kit Carson,
trapper, scout, and Indian agent; Jefferson Davis, who became president of the
Confederate States of America; Carry A. Nation, the Temperance Crusader; Abraham
Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, the McCoys of the Hatfield-McCoy dispute, and Casey
Jones, who became immortalized in song. Singers, musicians, and songwriters have
honored Kentucky for generations, from Bill Monroe, "The Father of Bluegrass
Music" with his classic Blue Moon of Kentucky and My Rose of Old Kentucky;
to The Coal Miner's Daughter Loretta Lynn and her Blue Kentucky Girl; to Stephen
Foster's My Old Kentucky Home, now the official state song of Kentucky. |
