The Literature of Three Delectable Kentucky Vices Part I: Racing William S. Ward Kentucky has owed much to the peculiar quality and properties of the land of the Bluegrass region. It was this land that caused the Indians to set the area aside as their hunting ground, a sort of game preserve and our first national park. It was the fertile land and the lush growth of the Great Meadow that attracted the first settlers and caused it to be hailed as a new Garden of Eden.
