"The History of Louisville, from the Earliest Settlement till the Year 1852" by Ben Casseday is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume chronicles the development of Louisville, Kentucky, detailing its rise from initial settlement, through various historical events and milestones, to its status by 1852. The book aims to provide an authentic and reliable narrative, emphasizing the city's unique position and the factors that contributed to its growth. The opening of the work establishes the need and significance of local history for understanding a city's identity and for potential settlers or investors. Casseday discusses the challenges faced in compiling the history of Louisville, noting the lack of official records and the difficulties in gathering data. He introduces early figures like Captain Thomas Bullitt, who attempted to settle the area, and Colonel George Rogers Clark, whose actions greatly influenced the establishment of the city. The narrative is rich with insights into the early struggles and customs of the settlers, painting a vivid picture of life at the falls of the Ohio River and laying the groundwork for the more detailed historical accounts that follow in the book.
