Danville, known as the City of Firsts and Birthplace of the
Bluegrass, is nestled in the heart of Kentucky. Its location on a
branch of the Wilderness Road, a trail blazed through frontier
lands by Daniel Boone and other like-minded pioneers, allowed
Danville to burgeon into a political, cultural, and educational hub
in the late 18th century. Danville was settled between 1783 and
1784 by Walker Daniel, for whom the town was named. A series of
constitutional conventions that led to Kentucky's statehood in 1792
were held in Danville, and the town has remained an integral piece
of state history since. The images in this volume reflect the
firsts for which Danville is famous: the Kentucky School for the
Deaf, Centre College, the home of famed physician Ephraim McDowell,
and more, as well as featuring photographs of everyday life:
churches, restaurants, and businesses so fondly recalled by its
citizens.
