First appeared Dr. John Connolly in 1773 who lo- cated 2,000 acres — his due for military services — on the South side of the Ohio, immediately opposite the Falls. Thomas Bullitt was with him and made a survey, and on December 10, 1773, Lord Dunmore executed the deed. Connolly conveyed 1,000 acres to John Campbell, who had meanwhile arrived, and they undertook to build the town which Bullitt had planned. Trouble arose between the Colonies and Great Britian and Connolly, an English adherent, was imprisoned by the Patriots. The Indians cap- tured Campbell, and thus ended the first attempt. In the spring of 1778 Gen. George Rogers Clark, sailing down the Ohio with raw recruits and immi- grant families, found it necessary to make a landing and discipline his soldiers. When he reached the Falls, he disembarked on Corn Island. At the end of a month he moved forward with his fighters, leaving the immigrants. These families became the real founders of Louisville and christened it in honor of King Louis the XVI of France, who aided the Americans in their struggle against England. But this was not until after General Clark has returned from his victorious warfare upon the Indians, and had ordered the building of a fort on the Kentucky shore opposite the Falls. Those who came originally with General Clark and others who came afterward held a public meeting April 10, 1779, and appointed trustees to lay out the town. John Corbley made the survey. One street skirted along the river bank, with twelve cross streets at right angles. The next developing step was taken by the Vir- ginia Legislature, May i, 1780, in confirming this action and appointing a board of nine trustees to take charge. Louisville continued under trusteeship, either by appointment or election, from 1780 to 1828. During this period Main, Market and Jefferson streets were established. The charter of 1828 transferred Louisville to the control of a Mayor and ten Council- men. John Bucklin was the first mayor. Since then the city has continued to grow and expand. South- ward, Eastward and Westward, into its present metro- politan proportions. Its recent charter provides the most approved form of municipal regulation, 13 LOUISVILLE: A MANUAL OF FACTS. r By Selecting Louisville As Your Next Place of Meeting You Select The City That Attracts The Most Delegates And Guarantees The Largest Attendance 14 LOUISVILLE: A MANUAL OF FACTS. AS A CONVENTION CITY OUISVILLE is the leader— the natural selection. Climatically, conditions are ideal. As to accessibility, Louisville is within a short day*s ride of fully one-half of Uncle Sam's 90,000,000, with luxurious transpor- tation facilities, and a choice of routes. In the way of Hotels, criticism is impos- sible. Accommodations are up-to-the-minute and charges reasonable. No gathering has yet been too large for Louisville to entertain and win the universal plaudit. Looking to Convention halls, Louisville is abundantly blessed. P'rom its magnificent new armory (seating 16,700) to the smaller places of assembly (all of them in the heart of the city) there is available exactly the facilities needful and best adapted. For the amusement-loving, there are a dozen theaters, and three immense public parks purveying unlimited diversion. To beguile the wayfarer, there are side features innumerable. There is Lincoln Farm, a few miles distant; Mammoth Cave and Colossal Cavern easily reached via the L. & N. Railroad; there is the tomb of IS LOUISVILLE; A MANUAL OF FACTS. Zachary Taylor; the Falls of the Ohio; there is — but come to see us and know for your own pleasure and instruction how diverse and how diverting they are. Moreover, our people are adepts in the fine art of making the newcomer feel instantly and perfectly at home. Genuine, old-fash- ioned hospitality is one of their golden as- sets. For proof of this, ask any guest who has tasted the ambrosia and gone home de- lighted and resolved to return the very first chance. Thus blending the practical with the pleas- ure-producing, and keeping in mind that when a ^delegate or representative, tourist or pros- pector, leaves home he anticipates something more than a place to meet, a bed and a bath and a bill of fare, Louisville has perfected in advance every arrangement for your wel- come, your convenience, your entertainment — and provided the luxuries. Therefore, we renew and repeat and urge the invitation, and bid you COME AND WELCOME. i6 LOUISVILL E: A MANUAL OF FACTS.

My Old Kentucky Home The sun shines bright on the Old Kentucky Home, 'Tis summer, the darkies are gay, The corn-top's ripe, and the meadows are in bloom, While the birds make music all the day; The young folks roll on the little cabin floor. All merry, all happy and bright. By 'n by hard times come a knocking at the door. Then my Old Kentucky Home, good-night. CHORUS; Weep no more, my lady. Oh! weep no more to-day! We \vl!l sing one song for the Old Kentucky Home, For the Old Kentucky Home far away. They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon. On the meadow, the hill and the shore, They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, On the bench by the old cabin door; The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, With sorrow where all was delight; The time has come when the darkies have to part, Then my Old Kentucky Home, good-night. The head must bow and the back will have to bend, Wherever the darky may go. A few more days and the trouble all will end, In the field where the sugar canes grow; A few more days for to tote the weary load. No matter, 'twill never be light; A few more days till we totter on the road. Then my Old Kentucky Home, good-night. Stephen C. Foster. 24 For Additional Information Concerning Louisville Or Convention Arrangements Write Or Call Upon R. W.
