There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour is ready to explore when you are.

Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.

In its entire 981-mile run in Colonial times there was only one barrier to navigation on the Ohio River, a series of dangerous rapids known as the Falls of the Ohio. Since travelers in either direction were forced to stop here it was pretty certain that a town would be settled here eventually. The reality came in 1780 when George Rogers Clark was campaigning in the then Northwest during the American Revolution. As a token of appreciation for his assistance in the struggle for independence the settlement was named after King Louis XVI of France.

Early growth was spurred by the loading and unloading of boats but Lexington outpaced Louisville as Kentucky's first town after statehood came in 1792. That changed forever in 1811 when the steamboat New Orleans chugged into port, the first successful steamer on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Soon travel time from New Orleans to Louisville was cut to 12 days, less than half the time it took keel-boats to float down the river. In 1830 the two-mile Louisville and Portland Canal became the first artificial passage to be completed in America on a major river and the town boomed. By 1850 Louisville was one of America's ten most populous cities.

Louisville officially became a major league city in 1876 when the Louisville Grays became of charter member of baseball's National League. The Grays finished fifth in professional baseball's debut season. A year earlier Aristides outran 14 other horses to claim the winner's purse of $2,850 in the first Kentucky Derby.

The town hugged the Ohio River for the better part of its first 100 years, spreading out from east to west first along Main Street and then one block further south on Market Street. In the 20th century development sprinted south along Fourth Street giving Louisville a T-shaped footprint. Our walking tour will mimic the historical development of the town and we will begin at the banks of the Ohio River where the waterway is its widest...

RIDE- IN! By Alan F. Westin FACTUAL REPRESENTATION OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES BLACK AMERICAN RIDE-INS, SIT-INS AND WALK-INS MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING Folks, we specialize in finding true stories of Black Americana. All along, I thought Rosa Parks was the first but here is published the true story, "Ride-In" by Alan F. Westin and let me just relate the first paragraph. Please read it whether you buy on this item or not. It began one day early in January when a Negro named Robert Fox boarded a streetcar in Louisville, Kentucky, dropped his coin into the fare box, and sat down in the white section of the car. Ordered to move, he refused, and the driver threw him off the car. Shortly after, Fox filed a charge of assault and battery against the streetcar company in the federal district court, claiming that separate seating policies were illegal and the driver's actions were therefore improper. The district judge instructed the jury that under federal law common carriers must serve all passengers equally without regard to race. So instructed, the jury found the company rules to be invalid and awarded damages of fifteen dollars (plus $72.80 in legal costs) to Mr. Fox." Sit-ins, ride-ins and walk-ins continued in the 1870s. Standard American histories do not mention them, but in 1883, six cases, under the Civil Rights Act of 1875, were considered by the Supreme Court. They ruled eight to one that most of the Act of 1875 was unconstitutional. John Marshall Harlan, a Kentuckian and former slave-holder was the only dissenter. Space will not allow me to continue this fascinating article but the stories of these Black Americana Heroes NEEDS TO BE READ AND TOLD. This seldom seen and unread take of these Black Americana Heroes should be published in every History Book in our Nation. Any serious collector must know this story. Please read this. There were many a western story published " the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on eCRATER every day but the rarer ones such as this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers.
