United States, Kentucky

Kentucky comes from the Wyandot Indian name for "plain" in reference to the central plains of the state.

W
elcome to Kentucky. The Bluegrass State is famous for breeding horses, tobacco farms, fine bourbon, and, of course, the Kentucky Derby. The state is home to a stellar system of state parks and natural attractions, featuring lakes, hardwood forests, spectacular waterfalls, and magnificent caves.

The history and lore of Kentucky 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.

For those who want to know, John Ed Pearce, a Kentucky journalist, tells about six of the most notorious and long-running feuds of Eastern Kentucky - those in Breathitt, Clay, Harlan, Perry, Pike, and Rowan counties.
