I like the buggy also. Ky. was the first early on maker of the buggy. But world wide the Derby the horse is "king". Poor Ramona you asked now how are you going to select out of all the great ideas :-) :-)) :-D :-( :-) Daniel Boon legends are world wide who has some to share? My ancestors were Hutson they seemd to wander along with the Boones. One of the parties were found in a pig sty and the pigs had eaten beyond reconition. Oh, the Indians had chased them there. The white man found many little things the Indians used to aid their hunting. Little shelters all over the ares was used by wild hogs and they could havemore available meat....... images of ghosts? So glad to hear of the safe friends. Liv

That reminds me of my Grandma Boyd. She used to sit on the front porch with her old granny dress pushed between her legs in her rocker, smoking her corn cob pipe.. not very lady like I'm afraid... Hadn't thought of that for awhile... Thanks Richard for bringing back that memory...

The backwoodsman of Kentucky was the first of our tall men, whose words were tall talk and whose deeds were tall tales. Romantic fiction has made much of his fierce wild courage and independence and his "rough diamond" chivalry as well as his skill with the rifle. "That murderous weapon," wrote Audubon of the Kentucky Hunters, "and the means of procuring them subsistence during all their wild and extensive rambles, and is the source of their principal sports and pleasure." It also brought them into National attention in the Battle of New Orleans, War of 1812. Bands of rugged Kentucky frontiersmen, wearing coonskin caps poured into General Jackson's ranks without guns. "Old Hickory" said to them, "Boys were are your guns?" "Got none" was the response. "Well then, what are you going to do?" asked "Old Hickory". "We'll tell you what we'll do Gin'ral, we'll follow them there Tennesseeans into battle, and ever' time one falls we'll jist inherit his gun." *No offense to Tennessee--my Kin is from there also!* In May of 1822 before a New Orleans audience of stomping, clapping, whooping people these "tough as hickory" and "coonskin voters" passed from history into legend. On this day, Noah Ludlow sang "The Hunters of Kentucky". Kind of makes one feel proud to be a Kentuckian--doesn't it? Ramona

FROM DANIEL BOONE: "I have traveled," he said in his old age, "over many new countries in the great Mississippi Valley; I have critically examined their soils; their mineral wealth; their healthful climates; their manufacturing situations; and the commercial advantages given them by nature. I have discovered where these endowments were given most bountifully in many localities, singly and in groups, but I have never found but one Kentucky---a spot of earth where nature seems to have concentrated all her bounties." I agree completely with Daniel. Ramona

I forgot corncob pipes have a few in my collection. Richard... RichPump wrote: > > Hello Folks: > I was thinking instead of flags, maybe a hat rack.

Hello Folks: I was thinking instead of flags, maybe a hat rack. With coonskin, Union and Confederate caps, and so on for each historic event. To show all welcome. could even have one for Schools.

I find that by saving to disc I can go back and read later what I might not have time for now, or what I would like to keep for reference. I have a disc for KY Legends, another for personal emails, one for computer tips, one for genealogy future leads, etc. I use Outlook Express, but there is probably a similar way to do it on all mail programs. I put a floppy in drive A: highlight the message I want to save: click "save as" under file: click A-drive for location: then save. I can then delete the message in the email inbox, and that eliminates the clutter and fullness there. When I want to read or answer what's on A:, I just open it on the disc. Hope this helps.

Hi. I live in southwest Louisiana and have only a couple of ancestors from KY, but heard Ramona talking about this list on another list and thought it would be fun to join. I have lived in the country most of my life, so I share the love of many of the same things that you folks do.

Let us all welcome: Woodrldl Mary HammettPat Jan Rick Would you all please send us a brief description of yourselves and what you would like to see on the Kentucky Legends site. Thank you, Ramona

Good Morning to All, On our Web Images we have now: Buckskins---OK Log Cabin--OK Long Rifles---I like this idea! Farmer with Plow---I like this idea too. Mary, my mind went blank--As Kin, You know I also had ancestors that fought for both sides during the Civil War. Pat came up with the idea of the Confederate and Union Flags Crossed. How's this sound? We all know that KY was the state known for "brother against brother" during that "dark and bloody time" as Gramma always referred to the WAR. Thank you all---and give me feed back---this is your site! Ramona

Good Thursday AM to Y;awl, I like the idea of candles, It would be nice for Leona to share some ideas on easy candles, huh? The doggie shows are so neat. The only pet I ever had was a Chuauah <G> those little mexican dogs is what that word spells........never could teach her to go pee outside. Her little feet would touch the grass and back in the house she'd come and pee in the door way. I was working at the time and my mate was not interested in anything but owning........had the doggie about a year found a couple that was retiring and moving to the lake site. Saw them about 6 or 8 months later and the wife had not been two feet away from the dog since day one. I did not check out the news on tv yet today. Hey, wish me luck. I signed up for a derby run at our church......Little 5 inch long wooden carved car......I'm Methusilias twin sister so there isn't any one older than me, but the girls that also signed to race them are in 5o's. Besides I have $ 2.50 invested in this car. I have forgotten what the prize is. It does not cover the investment tho. Guess I will need to come back again later. prayers for our friends near Floyd. and last nite they said Gert is a C 4 and following the same path more or less. Goodness!! In our thoughts. Liv

I just remembered. When I think of the old days of KY, the picture I see is the log cabin and the Farmer with his plow and horse. A corn field. Horse and buggy.
