Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronicles of a Kentucky Settlement After having been actively engaged for twenty-five years in commercial pursuits, in America and Europe, the time came when a long and severe illness left me such a cripple that I have since been unable to engage in any active employment. Then (in 1883) to while away hours that would otherwise have been tedious, I began writing some incidents in the life of one of the early settlers of Livingston County, intending to present the sketches to one of my children. As I progressed, I became so much interested in my work that, knowing as I did many of the pioneer settlers of the county, I went far beyond my original design, and hence this book. Its title, "Chronicles of a Kentucky Settlement," was suggested to me by an old friend, a fine scholar and a competent critic, as best fitting the character of the work. The book, however, is not, as some may infer from its title, a Local History. I endeavored to make it of interest to general readers. The first entry of lands in the Virginia Military District when opened at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1784, was in Livingston County, at the junction of the Ohio and Cumberland Rivers.
