About This Book

A narrative poem in the meter of Hiawatha traces the landscape and civic memory of a Kentucky town, beginning with its primeval woods and wildlife, following indigenous presence and conflict, the arrival of pioneer hunters and settlers, the clearing of forests and founding of a settlement, and the growth of community institutions, homes, trades, schools, and public buildings. It interweaves local legend, rural daily life, and commemorative passages about early landmarks and figures, evoking both the natural setting and the social changes that transformed wilderness into a civic center.
