The county seat for Warren County is Bowling Green. The area is 546 square miles. It became the one of the wealthiest counties in Kentucky in the 1870s. It is the 24th county in the order of county formations. Warren County was created December 14th, 1796 from part of Logan County. Warren County was named after General Joseph Warren. He was a distinguished patriot who died in a battle at Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War. Warren County is bordered by Edmonson, Barren, Allen, Simpson, Logan, and Butler. Settlement in Warren County, specifically Bowling Green began with McFadden’s Station, which was a trading post on Barren River around 1785. In 1775, thirteen long hunters had engraved their names on a tree at an additional Barren River crossing. In the early 1790’s, Robert Moore made a cabin near a spring in Warren County. In 1797, Robert Moore donated some land for the construction of a town square and a courthouse, and two years after that, the spring was given for public use. The log courthouse and jail were done being built in the square by March 1798 and the board of commissioners called the town Bowling Green. Between 1805 and 1809 a complication arose regarding the choice of place for the circuit court. On February 3, 1808, the General Assembly ordered a commission formed to explore the county in order to repair the permanent seat of justice. The place located did not satisfy most of the people of Warren County so the General Assembly ordered on January 16, 1809 the court moved back to the square in Bowling Green. In 1810 and 1812, the legislature approved the Acts of incorporation and regulation for local government. In 1813, government functions were lastingly stable in Bowling Green.

Clay County was created by the Tennessee General Assembly on June 16, 1870. The county was formed from the secluded northern parts of Jackson County and Overton County. The citizens believed that, with this new county, they would have more opportunities to participate in self-government rather than continuing to be a part of larger county with which they were only connected to by a few trails and no roads. The first session of the county court assembled in Mary Robert’s store in the Butler’s Landing Community where the city of Celina was chosen as the county seat by a narrow margin.1 The name Clay County originates from American statesman, member of the United States Senate, and United States Speaker of the House Henry Clay.2
I am from a small town called Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania. It is along the Delaware River, about 25 miles northeast of Philadelphia. Bristol Borough was founded in 1681. This is the states third oldest borough, that was once a busy river port with important shipbuilding activities (Cohen 438). It is predominately residential, with the exception of Mill Street, the community's traditional commercial street. It includes fine examples of many major styles and idioms, reflecting the community's long history and its importance as a transportation and commercial center (Owen 133). The 28-acre Bristol Industrial Historic District includes the original town of Bristol and the residential area that extends northeast along the bank of the Delaware River (Owen 132). The Bristol Industrial Historic District is a significant collection of the factory and mill complexes containing elements dating from 1875-1937 (Owen 133). Among the mills is the Grundy Mill Complex. It is a visual representation of industrial growth of Bristol Borough. This mill was run by Joseph R. Grundy. The dramatic scale of later buildings stand as the source and monument to the wealth and power of Joseph Grundy (Owen 145). Joseph Grundy was the proprietor of the Bristol Worsted Mills, and one of the most prominent manufacturers and businessmen of Bucks County (Green 252). The Bristol Worsted Mills no longer run but the building is still standing. Bristol owes a lot to Joseph R. Grundy for his contributions to the people and the town itself.

Major Anderson thought that the people of Charleston were about t attempt to seize Fort Sumter. He would not stand for this, so since he was commander of all the defenses of the harbor, and without any orders to disagree with him, he said that he could occupy any one of his choice. Since he was being watched he only told his plan to three or four officers that he knew that he could trust. He first removed the women and children with a supply of provisions. They were sent to Fort Johnson on Dec. 26 in vessels. The firing of tree guns at Moultrie was to be the signal for them to be conveyed to Sumter. In the evening the garrison went to Sumter. The people of Charleston knew that the women and children were at Fort Johnson and thought that Anderson would take his troops there. (www.sonofthesouth.net/leefoundation/battlefort-sumter.html)
In late October of 1965, troops of the 1st Brigade were sent into the battle. After the enemy was repulsed, the 3rd Brigade replaced the 1st Brigade in early November (X-Ray). After three days of patrolling without any contact, Hal Moore's 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry was ordered to air assault into the Ia Drang Valley on Nov 14. Moore's plan was to move Bravo and Alpha northwest past the creek bed, and Charlie south toward the mountain.

In the center of the LZ was a large termite hill that which was to become Moore's command post.

The outer pickets had retreated towards the town where a small building was used as a guard shack. With the weather in their faces, the men sought shelter (Lowell, 1970, p. 90). The lack of outer perimeter pickets allowed the American army to get very close to the town completely undetected.
1734-1820: Daniel Boone was not born in Kentucky, but has been historically connected to Kentucky. Daniel was in charge of exploration and colonization for Kentucky. In 1796 Daniel and six other colleagues went on an expedition through the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky.

Army launched a campaign to remove the Comanche, Kiowa, Southern Cheyenne, and Arapaho Indian tribes from the Southern Plains and enforce their relocation to reservations in Indian Territory.

The Red River War led to the end of an entire way of life for the Southern Plains tribes and brought about a new chapter in Texas history.
