From the spires of Churchill Downs and the Cathedral of the Assumption,
to the bluegrass farms of its outlying areas and the blueblood roots of
its historic districts, Louisville has something to offer every native
and visitor. Over 200 vintage hand-tinted and black and white postcards
from the 1900s to the 1940s take readers on a journey back in time to
tour old Louisville, showcasing some of the city's most famous landmarks
and sites. Tour an antebellum plantation house, have a Hot Brown at the
Brown Hotel, travel on a steamboat down the Ohio River, walk the grounds
of Fort Knox or on a lawn of Kentucky blue grass, and cheer on the
longshot from the stands of Churchill Downs.
