N\\%Gnw" From Virginia
>c came most Of
the settlers of the western state,
and with them these pioneers
brought Virginia institutions
and idenls. 1t was not until
1850 that the first authentic
Journey was made by white
man into central parts OF the
region afterwards called Ken
tucky.
Further explorations showed
that this territory held two I'M
portant attractions for settlers.
The first was the great fertility
OF what was called the Blue
Grass region. The so-called
blue grass, from which this
state Is nicknamed tho "Blue
Grass State ls In no wise pe-
culiar to Kentucky.
The second inducement for
settlers was the fact that there
were no Indians living In this
region. It was later found that
many rowing bands Of savages
crossed the Ohio from the north
and sorely harassed the early
colonists until Clark's expedi-
tlons into Ohio and Indiana
checked thelr nvaslons. In fact,
tho nnme Kentucky is probably
derived from tho IroQuols word
kentkn.ke, meaning "huntlng
land" Another Interpretation
Is dark and bloody ground"
hut this IS doubtless incorrect.
The main highways Of travel
at TINT time were Daniel
Boonc's "Wilderness Road"
through Cumberland Gap and
down the Ohio. Hardy pioneers
poured into this new territory
In such numbers that In 1892,
with the permission OF Virginia,
Kentucky was admitted to the
Union as the fifteenth state with
m area OF 40,509 square miles.
Kentucky has thirteen electoral
votes for president. The re-
mnrkable physical condition Of
lis population Is shown In a re-
port Of the volunteers in tho
Civil war. This gave their av-
