Glimpses of Kentucky1941

[first lines]

Narrator:
In Kentucky, where the Cumberland River picturesquely wends it way, we recall that it was the fertile valley of this stream that attracted the early settlers to establish their homes in the bluegrass state, the first state west of the Allegheny Mountains to be admitted into the union. This historic river rises in southeastern Kentucky and flows for about 700 miles before it empties into the Ohio river, and among its scenic vicissitudes, none is more picturesque than Cumberland Falls.
