Book excerpt: A pioneer, a Soldier and a Visionary In 1774, James Harrod founded the oldest, permanent English settlement west of the Allegheny Mountains. Establishing Harrodsburg was a symbolic act declaring the Kentucky frontier open for settlement. Harrod was a soldier and pioneer who was instrumental in exploration of the area. His settlement domesticated an area considered wild and untamed and has continued for more than 200 years. Author Bobbi Dawn Rightmyer details the beginning of this historic city and life of the man who founded it.
