Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cane Ridge Meeting-House
Here is a region rare and radiant. Hunt all merry England for vales of peace; search all New England for valleys of plenty, and there will not come to your finding such reaches of beauteous landscape. Gently descending from the Cumberland plateau, which forms the western flank of the Kentucky mountain region, are numberless Winsome hills and entrancing valleys. In the heart of all this wondrous garden is the 'bluegrass' country. On its breast, like a noble rose or a lustrous jewel, rests the royal county of Bourbon.
