LEGE From the south battlement of my stronghold I can look out over my domain, keeping an eye on my war- riors and squawsg enjoying their triumphs, sympathizing with them in their sorrows, ready to extend a helping hand or encouraging word when necessary, but always interested in what they are doing. This is my job and this has become my greatest pleasure in life. However, it was not always this way. According to my ancestral people, this panorama I now gaze across was once a part of the great wilderness called Wlihe Happy Hunting Groundi' by the Seneca, Iroquois, Shaw- nee, Cherokee, Vlfyandotte, and Delaware Indians.

On May 1, 1780, the Virginia Legislature under the direction of its territorial Governor, Thomas Jefferson, for whom Jefferson County is named, granted Louis- ville its first official charter. By then my domain was being invaded by many adventurous strangers, who having heard of this rich land from a Nfellerw named Daniel Boone who had come through the Cumberland Gap into what he called Kaintuck , traveled by flat- bottom boats down the Ohio River until they came to the same great falls.
