Kentucky is known as the "Bluegrass State", a nickname based on the bluegrass found in many of its pastures due to the fertile soil. One of the major regions in Kentucky is the Bluegrass Region in central Kentucky which houses two of its major cities, Louisville and Lexington. It is a land with diverse environments and abundant resources, including the world's longest cave system, Mammoth Cave National Park, the greatest length of navigable waterways and streams in the contiguous United States, and the two largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi River.
Kentucky (foaled 1861, died 1875), was a successful AmericanThoroughbredracehorse who won 21 of his 23 starts, including 20 consecutive wins.
He was by Lexington, who sired three colts in 1861 (out of Glencoe mares) and would each become one of the best race horses in America – Norfolk, Asteroid and Kentucky. Norfolk and Asteroid went undefeated throughout their racing careers, and one of the few horses who ever defeated Kentucky was Norfolk. Kentucky's dam was Magnolia, by the imported British champion Glencoe; Glencoe stood at John Harper's Nantura Stock Farm in Kentucky. His sire line traced back to Herod.
A rangy bay with a narrow white stripe and white off-fore pastern, Kentucky was owned by John Hunter, one of the founders of the Saratoga Race Course and co-owner (and the first chairman) of The Jockey Club.
Racing record
Probably trained by A.J. Minor (the facts are unclear), Kentucky won his only two-year-old start. At age three, racing for John Hunter, William R. Travers and George Osgood, he lost his second start in the inaugural Jersey Derby – coming in fourth to Norfolk. After that he won 20 consecutive races, including the first Travers Stakes in 1864 and the first two runnings of the Saratoga Cup at a distance of 2¼ miles. He also won the first Inaugural Stakes in four mile heats at the newly opened Jerome Park Racetrack. For three seasons (1864, 1865 and 1866), when races were two, three and four miles long, he was the undisputed champion of East Coast racing.
During the Civil War, Thad Goodwin (Charles Waldron) of Elmtree Farm, a local horse breeder resists Capt. John Dillon (Douglass Dumbrille) and a company of Union soldiers confiscating his prize horses. He is killed by Dillon and his youngest son Peter (Bobs Watson) cries at the soldiers riding away with the horses.
75 years later, in 1938, Peter (Walter Brennan) now a crotchety old man, still resides on Elmtree Farm and raises horses with his niece Sally (Loretta Young). Dillon's grandson Jack (Richard Greene) and Sally meet, her not knowing that he was a Dillon. Peter Goodwin dies when his speculation on cotton drops. The Goodwins are forced to auction off nearly all their horses and Jack offers his services to Sally, as a trainer of their last prize horse, "Bessie's Boy", who falls ill.

In the footsteps of Daniel Boone | Fort Boonesborough
Fort Boonesborough was a frontier fort in Kentucky, founded by Daniel Boone and his men following their crossing of the Kentucky River on April 1, 1775. The settlement they founded, known as Boonesborough, Kentucky, is Kentucky's second oldest European-American settlement. It served as a major frontier outpost during the American Revolutionary War, and survived into the early 19th century before its eventual abandonment. A National Historic Landmark now administered as part of Fort Boonesborough State Park, the site is one of the best-preserved archaeological sites of early westward expansion by British colonists in that period. It is located in Madison County, Kentucky off Kentucky Route 627.

Civil War fort at Boonesboro? Wait? I thought Boonesboro was a pioneer fort, during the Revolutionary War? But wait, you read that correctly, there was a Civil War fort at Boonesboro as well, stay with me, and I’ll tell you it’s story!
It’s one of the most obscure historic sites in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky, the Civil War Fort at Boonesboro. Many folks know about Daniel Boone and his pioneer fort on the Kentucky frontier, and its replica that is visited thousands of times a year by folks all over the world. What is lesser known is that eighty-eight years later, the area had another fort just across the river, high on the hill overlooking the Kentucky River.
In order to understand why this fort and others were built, we need to understand the back story. Kentucky was a highly contested border state throughout the war, and was continually surprised by Confederates on short, fast raiding missions to destroy supply lines, transportation routes, and to procure supplies.
Let me introduce you to Confederate Colonel Roy S. Cluke, who ironically was a native of Clark County, Kentucky, where this fort stood. In February 1863, he took a force of 750 men from Tennessee to invade Kentucky. They first struck Somerset and captured a bounty of supplies. When they reached Richmond, Cluke split up his forces and sent raiding parties to Winchester, Paris, and Mt. Sterling.
Colonel Cluke and his men were pursued by Colonel Benjamin Runkle of the 45th Ohio and those Buckeyes almost caught the Rebs at Boonesboro Ford. Runkle and his men followed the Rebs to Mt. Sterling where they hit them again. Cluke was able to escape capture and returned back into Tennessee.
The next month Confederate General John Pegram took 1,550 men and three pieces of artillery into Kentucky to procure cattle for the army. They initially moved through the area unopposed, and they gathered large numbers of cattle as they went. They faced little opposition until they reached Danville, where they ran into Colonel Runkle’s force. The Confederates were successful in pushing the Federalists out of the important town.
Soon they ran into Union Brigadier General Samuel P. Carter and after a few skirmishes, they retreated back south to Somerset. Pegram’s men were mounted but were slowed by the hundreds of cattle that they had procured in Garrard, Lincoln, and Boyle Counties. Union General Quincey Gilmore and his men caught up with the Confederates and defeated them at the Battle of Somerset, forcing them to leave behind all their cattle.
In July and August, a third Confederate raid into Kentucky took place. Colonel John S. Scott came from Tennessee with 1,000 men and eight pieces of artillery. Their mission was to capture supplies and to take some of the Union pressure off of General John Hunt Morgan, “The Thunderbolt of the Confederacy”, who at that time, was raiding into Ohio.
Colonel Scott ran into resistance and clashed with Union forces four days in a row, in Williamsburg, London, Rogersville, and Richmond. Scott’s Rebels defeated Union Colonel William P. Saunders who retreated his men across the Kentucky River at Clays Ferry, and then into Lexington. Colonel Scott and his men then captured the city of Winchester. Union reinforcements came from Camp Nelson, Cincinnati, and Louisville, and Colonel Saunders attacked Scott about five miles south of Winchester. Scott’s Rebels were forced to retreat and ended up escaping back into Tennessee, and like General Pegram, were forced to abandon most of their supplies and animals in Somerset.
The Union Army charged one man to help defend the region from more attacks, Captain Thomas B. Brooks. Captain Brooks was from New York and first enlisted in the 1st New York Volunteer Engineers. In November of 1862, he was ordered to Kentucky to serve under the command of General Gilmore, to assist with designing defenses. Brooks traveled around Central Kentucky to scout out where the defenses were needed. He then designed several blockhouses used for railroad security and designed the fortifications at Boonesboro, Clays Ferry, Tates Creek, Frankfort, and Hickman Creek, which became Camp Nelson. He was also involved in the construction of defenses in Lexington.
Perhaps by the forts sheer existence the Confederates were discouraged from further raiding in the area and General John Hunt Morgan’s summer raid bypassed the area completely. Later in 1863, General Ambrose Burnside arrived in Kentucky to lead a force into Tennessee. Burnside pulled most of the men and supplies form the forts for his mission. In September 1863, Burnside and his men took Knoxville and the threat to Kentucky was never as strong again.

When Daniel Boone and his men reached the Kentucky River on April 1, 1775, they quickly moved to establish Kentucky’s second settlement – the site still known as Fort Boonesborough. Enjoy camping on the banks of the Kentucky River year-round at Fort Boonesborough State Park! Learn more at https://parks.ky.gov/richmond/parks/historic/fort-boonesborough-state-park. #kystateparks
In this video I take a ride to Carlisle, KY to see Daniel Boone's Last Cabin in KY. The cabin was built in 1795 where Boone his wife and 10 children stayed until 1799. He spent the remainder of his life in Missouri.
"Many heroic actions and chivalrous adventures are related of me which only exist in the regions of fancy. With me the world has taken great liberties, and yet I have been but a common man.” ~Daniel Boone

Fort Boonesborough was a frontier fort in Kentucky, founded by Daniel Boone and his men following their crossing of the Kentucky River on April 1, 1775. The settlement they founded, known as Boonesborough, Kentucky, is Kentucky's second oldest European-American settlement. It served as a major frontier outpost during the American Revolutionary War, and survived into the early 19th century before its eventual abandonment. A National Historic Landmark now administered as part of Fort Boonesborough State Park, the site is one of the best-preserved archaeological sites of early westward expansion by British colonists in that period. It is located in Madison County, Kentucky off Kentucky Route 627.

Civil War fort at Boonesboro? Wait? I thought Boonesboro was a pioneer fort, during the Revolutionary War? But wait, you read that correctly, there was a Civil War fort at Boonesboro as well, stay with me, and I’ll tell you it’s story!
It’s one of the most obscure historic sites in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky, the Civil War Fort at Boonesboro. Many folks know about Daniel Boone and his pioneer fort on the Kentucky frontier, and its replica that is visited thousands of times a year by folks all over the world. What is lesser known is that eighty-eight years later, the area had another fort just across the river, high on the hill overlooking the Kentucky River.
In order to understand why this fort and others were built, we need to understand the back story. Kentucky was a highly contested border state throughout the war, and was continually surprised by Confederates on short, fast raiding missions to destroy supply lines, transportation routes, and to procure supplies.
Let me introduce you to Confederate Colonel Roy S. Cluke, who ironically was a native of Clark County, Kentucky, where this fort stood. In February 1863, he took a force of 750 men from Tennessee to invade Kentucky. They first struck Somerset and captured a bounty of supplies. When they reached Richmond, Cluke split up his forces and sent raiding parties to Winchester, Paris, and Mt. Sterling.
Colonel Cluke and his men were pursued by Colonel Benjamin Runkle of the 45th Ohio and those Buckeyes almost caught the Rebs at Boonesboro Ford. Runkle and his men followed the Rebs to Mt. Sterling where they hit them again. Cluke was able to escape capture and returned back into Tennessee.
The next month Confederate General John Pegram took 1,550 men and three pieces of artillery into Kentucky to procure cattle for the army. They initially moved through the area unopposed, and they gathered large numbers of cattle as they went. They faced little opposition until they reached Danville, where they ran into Colonel Runkle’s force. The Confederates were successful in pushing the Federalists out of the important town.
Soon they ran into Union Brigadier General Samuel P. Carter and after a few skirmishes, they retreated back south to Somerset. Pegram’s men were mounted but were slowed by the hundreds of cattle that they had procured in Garrard, Lincoln, and Boyle Counties. Union General Quincey Gilmore and his men caught up with the Confederates and defeated them at the Battle of Somerset, forcing them to leave behind all their cattle.
In July and August, a third Confederate raid into Kentucky took place. Colonel John S. Scott came from Tennessee with 1,000 men and eight pieces of artillery. Their mission was to capture supplies and to take some of the Union pressure off of General John Hunt Morgan, “The Thunderbolt of the Confederacy”, who at that time, was raiding into Ohio.
Colonel Scott ran into resistance and clashed with Union forces four days in a row, in Williamsburg, London, Rogersville, and Richmond. Scott’s Rebels defeated Union Colonel William P. Saunders who retreated his men across the Kentucky River at Clays Ferry, and then into Lexington. Colonel Scott and his men then captured the city of Winchester. Union reinforcements came from Camp Nelson, Cincinnati, and Louisville, and Colonel Saunders attacked Scott about five miles south of Winchester. Scott’s Rebels were forced to retreat and ended up escaping back into Tennessee, and like General Pegram, were forced to abandon most of their supplies and animals in Somerset.
The Union Army charged one man to help defend the region from more attacks, Captain Thomas B. Brooks. Captain Brooks was from New York and first enlisted in the 1st New York Volunteer Engineers. In November of 1862, he was ordered to Kentucky to serve under the command of General Gilmore, to assist with designing defenses. Brooks traveled around Central Kentucky to scout out where the defenses were needed. He then designed several blockhouses used for railroad security and designed the fortifications at Boonesboro, Clays Ferry, Tates Creek, Frankfort, and Hickman Creek, which became Camp Nelson. He was also involved in the construction of defenses in Lexington.
Perhaps by the forts sheer existence the Confederates were discouraged from further raiding in the area and General John Hunt Morgan’s summer raid bypassed the area completely. Later in 1863, General Ambrose Burnside arrived in Kentucky to lead a force into Tennessee. Burnside pulled most of the men and supplies form the forts for his mission. In September 1863, Burnside and his men took Knoxville and the threat to Kentucky was never as strong again.

Adventure story, biography, western, history, “Simon Kenton, KentuckyScout” fits all these descriptions. Its vivid, intense language tells the story of Kentucky’s exploration and settlement through the life of the young frontiersman.
Forts Boonesborough (1775) and Fort Harrod (1774) represented the earliest permanent Euro-American towns in Kentucky. The 1775 fort was located off the Kentucky River some 12 miles from the present city of Richmond.
