OUR OLD KENTUCKY HOME

Page 10 text:

To you. the restless ones. Who moved on while your neighbors tarried among their jat swine: The valorous ones, who fought where others trembled. Who went on where others faltered, and left a trail for thein to folloit ' . Who died where others dared not. and left a monument for them to marvel at; The tmsatis ied. U ' ho never saw a horizon hut that its closeness smothered you. Who found no pledsiire u ' here the moi ' ning sun came oi ' er the same hills day after day; To you. the unorthodox, the unrestrained. The Pioneers.
