The opening of the work illustrates the author's intention to captivate readers, especially youth, by depicting Kentucky's history from its geological past, when an ocean once covered its land, to the myriad of adventures and struggles faced by early settlers and Native Americans. Purcell discusses the natural formations in Kentucky as well as early aboriginal traditions, setting the stage for an exploration of the state's significant historical events and figures. The text acknowledges the importance of storytelling in preserving heritage and understanding the sacrifices made by past generations, guiding readers through an engaging account that seeks both to educate and inspire.
