Bedrock in most of the region is composed of Ordovician limestones and shales 450 million years old. Younger Devonian, Silurian, and Mississippian shales and limestones form the Knobs Region. Much of the Ordovician strata lie buried beneath the surface. The oldest rocks at the surface in Kentucky are exposed along the Palisades of the Kentucky River. Limestones are quarried or mined throughout the region for use in construction. Water from limestone springs is bottled and sold. The black shales are a potential source of oil. The Bluegrass, the first region settled by Europeans, includes about 25 percent of Kentucky. Over 50 percent of all Kentuckians live there an average 190 people per square mile, ranging from 1,750 people per square mile in Jefferson County to 23 people per square mile in Robertson County. The Inner Blue Grass is characterized by rich, fertile phosphatic soils, which are perfect for raising thoroughbred horses. The gently rolling topography is caused by the weathering of limestone that is typical of the Ordovician strata of central Kentucky, pushed up along the Cincinnati Arch. Weathering of the limestone also produces sinkholes, sinking streams, springs, caves, and soils.

    SLAVERY IN EARLY LOUISVILLE AND JEFFERSON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, 1780-1812 J. Blaine Hudson frican-Americans entered Kentucky with. ff not before, the liest explorers. When Louisville was founded in 1778. ican-Americans were among its earliest residents and, as the frontier and early settlement periods passed, both slavery and the subordination of free persons of color became institutionalized in the city and surrounding county. The quality and quantity of research in this area have improved markedly in recent years, but significant gaps in the extant research literature remain. The research dealing exclusively with African-Americans in Louisville focuses on the post-emancipation era. 1 Other general works focus on African-Americans at the statewide or regional levels of analysis but actually make very few references to conditions and relationships that existed before 1820. 2 The standard works on Louisville and Kentucky address the role of J.
