THE 
 
 LOUISVILLE AND lASHYILLE 
 
 The LouisviLiiB and NASHviiiTiB Railroad, with its 
 connections, runs three hundred and twenty four miles 
 southward from Louisville, tapping the richest quarter of 
 the State of Kentucky, and penetrating the State of Tennes- 
 see to its capital city, Nashville. There is, perhaps, no 
 railroad south of the Ohio River that is of equal impor- 
 tance to the South, being the only main line that will for 
 years afford the means of speedy exit northward for the 
 heavy travel and rich products of that region. 
 
 The two cities of Nashville and Louisville stand at each 
 termini of the main line, benefitted beyond measure by the 
 vast traffic that yearly engages the passenger and freight 
 departments of the road. And along the line — branches and 
 main — the enha.nced value of lands, the enlarged population 
 of the towns, the iinprovements of public and private enter- 
 prise, the rapidly increasing productions of the soil, and the 
 prosperity of the people generally, attest the wonderful 
 blessings of the road. 
 
 The ilon. James Guthrie may be fairly considered the 
 originator of the line. At all events, more to him than to 
 any other man or men, does the road owe its present pros- 
 perity, its vast reserve of stock and machinery, its splendid 
 equipments. 
 
 A]id next to Mr. Guthrie, in point of talent and useful- 
 ness, among the many who have given and are giving ge- 
 nius and labor to the advancement of the road's prosperitj^, 
 stands Mr. Albert Fink, now General Snporintehdent, 
 former Engineer and Superintendent of Machinery and 
 Road Department. There is hardly a road in the country 
 
4 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 that has required tho exercise of fmer engineering talent 
 than this. Broad rivers have been crossed, deep ravines 
 have been spanned, hills have been climbed, and tunnels of 
 great length pierce the otherwise impassable mountains, 
 and yet there is no road surpasses this in any qualities that 
 make a first class railway. The splendid iron truss bridges 
 that span the different rivers of the route, have been not 
 only built by Mr. Fink, but they are his invention, and as 
 long as the road endures those bridges will stand,exhibiting 
 the admirable genius of their inventor. 
 
 The officers of the Company as at present organized are 
 as follows : President, James Guthrie; Directors, James 
 Guthrie, James B. Wilder, W. B. Hamilton, J. C. Guild, 
 H. D. Newcomb, R. A. Robinson, W. H. Smith, Russell 
 Houston ; Secretary, Willis Ranney ; General Superinten- 
 dent, Albert Fink; Engineer and Assistant Superintendent 
 Mechanical Department, Rudolph Fink ; Asst. Superinten- 
 dent of Transportation, D. W. C. Rowland; General Passen- 
 ger Agent, J. F. Boyd ; General Freight Agent, F. S. Yan 
 Alstein. 
 
 The city of Nashville, the southern terminus of tho Louis- 
 ville and Nashville Railroad, is the chief city and tho Capi- 
 tal of the State of Tennessee. There is no city in the Union 
 that has a finer location, more eligible building sites, a 
 richer variety 6f surrounding landscape, a healthier, pleas- 
 antt'r climate. The place was founded in the year 1779 by a 
 party of iN'orth Carolinians, of which Gen. James Robert- 
 son was chief. The name first agreed upon was Nash bor- 
 ough, afterwards changed to Nashville, in honor of General 
 Francis Nash, of North Carolina, who was killed at the bat- 
 tle of Germantown in 1777. From its foundation up, Nash- 
 ville has had a slow but steady and certain progress. In 
 1787 there were about half a dozen framed and log houses, 
 ai:^ twenty or thirty cabins. In 1801 a law was passed by 
 th» General Assembly authorizing a tax to build a market 
 house. In 1804 the population was 400. In 180G the town 
 was incorporated, with a Mayor and six Aldermen, Joseph 
 Coleman being the first Mayor. In 1801 the population had 
 increased to 1,100. In 1818 the first steamboat arrived, hail- 
 ing from Pittsburg. She was 110 tuns burden, and named 
 " General Jackson." In 1823 the population was 3,400, and 
 in 1830, 5,506. 
 
 In 1825 iifteen to twenty boats run to New Orleans, Lou- 
 isville, and Pittsburg, exporting over a million dollars 
 worth of cotton. In 1832-33 the business of the place in- 
 creased greatly, and continued to increase till the revulsion 
 
NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 5 
 
 of '37, when wealth and poiilation fell off together. In 1842 
 prosperity came again with specie payments. In 1845 the 
 corner stone of the magnificent capitol building v/aa Jaid, 
 and the project of the Nasliville and Chattanooga Railroad 
 began first to engross attention. From that time up to the 
 beginning of the rebellion, Nashville had unexampled 
 prosperity. Improvements of a public and private charac- 
 ter were going ahead on every hand. Railroads were pro- 
 jecterl, and in 185o, the city and its county of Davidson voted 
 a subscription of one million dollars to four roads — the 
 Tennessee and Alabama, the Louisville and Nashville, the 
 Henderson and .Nashville, and the Nashville and North 
 Western. And these roads were all put under construction, 
 and have gone forward with mixed speed towards comple- 
 tion. The' war came, and the history of the place changes 
 from peace and commerce to war and the clash, and trade, 
 and excitements attending the movements of vast armies. 
 TJie part the citj^ has played in the dire drama of the past 
 four years may bo learned from thousands of witnesses, and 
 from' numberless printed pages, and this little book need 
 not repeat the history. 
 
 Nashville is about three miles long by two wide, and cov- 
 ers an area of some six square miles. It has a population 
 of about 50,000 inhabitants. , There are numerous churches 
 and schools, and institutions of learning abound. The 
 magnificent Capitol building, the Masonic and Odd Fellows 
 Halls, the splentlid wire bridge across the Cumberland 
 River, and the immense work-shop and dej^ot-buildings of 
 the various railroads that center in the city, are all objects 
 of interest, and well worthy the visits of strangers. And 
 the newspapers— of which there are over a half dozen dai- 
 lies—stand among the ablest conducted and most enterpris- 
 ing of the Union. 
 
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad, from its splendid 
 passenger depot on Nortli College street, a stone's-throw off, 
 crosses the Cumberland River on a fine Plowe Truss bridge, 
 700 feet long, and passing through Edgefield— a suburb of 
 Nashville— makes its first station at 
 
 EDGEFIELD JUNCTION, 
 
 10 miles on. For several miles before reaching this junc- 
 tion, passengers have the beautiful Cumberland River flow- 
 ing down to their right. At high water, steamboats navi- 
 gate the stream to a place called Burnside's Point, some 
 hundred miles above Nashville. 
 Edgefield Junction is in Davidson county, Tenn., and is 
 
6 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 the connecting point of the Henderson and Nashville Rail- 
 road. This road is chartered through to Henderson, Ky., 
 on the Ohio River. Work on it, however, has progressed 
 slowly, owing to some local opposition, and during the war, 
 of course, there has been an entire suspension. Rails are j 
 laid to darks vi He, and it is now expected that active nieaa- i 
 ures will be inaugurated for its completion. The great coal 
 regions of Southern Kentucky will, by this line, contriljute 
 to Nashville, and through northern connections at Evans- | 
 ville, Ind., an immense grain-carrying trade is anticipated. 
 Leaving the Junction, five miles on, we have a station 
 called 
 
 HENDERSONVILIiE. 
 
 This is our first stop in Sumner county, fifteen miles from 
 Nasliville, and we are in the midst of one of the finest ag- 
 ricultural regions of the State. Planters hereabout aregen- 
 erallj^ in affiuent circumstances. 
 
 From Hendovsouvilie on four miles is 
 
 SAUNDERSVILLE, 
 
 Sumner county, merely a stopping place for neighborhood 
 accommodation. 
 Two miles on, our next halt is at 
 
 PILOT KNOB, 
 
 Sumner county, a neighborhood flag-station. 
 Five miles further, and we are at 
 
 GALIiATIN, 
 
 The county seat of Sumner county. This thriving young 
 city has a population of some two thousand, and is one of 
 the handsomest and wealthiest places in the State of Ten- 
 nessee. Before the war, capital was seeking investment 
 here in cotton manufacturing. The city is in the center of 
 one of the best cotton growing regions in the State. The 
 place, however, was early occupied by the contending ar- 
 mies, and an effective stop put to the enterprise of its citi- 
 zens. During the war the city changed hands several times. 
 On the 12th of August, 1802," Col. Boone, commanding the 
 28th Kentucky Infantry, surrendered the place to the Con- 
 federate General, John "Morgan. Morgan destroyed a trrrln of 
 twenty-nine cars, the water station, a bridge two and a half 
 miles south, and another six miles north. The rebel forces 
 held possession but a few days, the Federal General John- 
 
NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 7 
 
 son moving against him from Nashville. A battle was 
 fought, and Morgan retired across the Cumberland. 
 Leaving Gallatin, a run of seven miles carries us to 
 
 SOUTH TUNNEL, 
 
 Sumner county. Here there are two short tunnels, the south 
 one 600 feet long, and the north one 900 feet. In August, 
 1862, Morgan captured the Federal forces stationed there, 
 and set the timber work that supported the sides and roof 
 of the tunnel -on lire. The railroad from this point each side, 
 for twenty miles or more, two or three months of the year 
 1862, was held by the rebel forces. The November follow- 
 ing the Army of the Cumberland, under Gen. Kosecranz, 
 moved dowii the line of the road, and by the IMh of the 
 month had reached these tunnels. Albert Finii, Esq., then 
 Chief Engineer of the road, made, in 1863, a most interest- 
 ing report to the Board of Directors, from which we extract 
 the following in regard to the damage done to the tunnels 
 by Morgan : 
 
 " The Company's force was at once set to work to clean 
 out the tunnel. The immense heat, caused by the combus- 
 tion of the great quantity of timber which had supported 
 the roof and sides of the tunnel (tlio 'packing' beingof v/ood), 
 had caused a large mass of material to fall, which filled up 
 the tunnel to an average height of twelve feet, for a distance 
 of 800 feet. The removal of this material proved quite a 
 difficult task, ov/ing to the scarcity of labor, the dangerous 
 character of the work, and many other impeding circum- 
 stances not looked for in ordinary times. By the 25th of 
 November, however, the work was accomplished, and, the 
 Government forces meanwhile having repaired the bridges 
 between the tunnel and Nashville, trains vrero again run 
 through from Louisville to the latter place." 
 
 Having on five miles we reach 
 
 FOUNTAIN HEAD, 
 
 Sumner county, a flag-station, and three miles on we are at 
 another flag-station called 
 
 BICHLAN©, 
 
 Another move of four miles and we are at 
 
 MirCHEIiliSVILLE, 
 
 Sumner county, the last station in Tennessee, 45 miles from 
 Nashville. On the 15th of November, 1862, Gen. Rose-

 cranz occupied this place vf itb th« Army ©f the Cumber- 
 land, then first moving south upoa its^ re-organiz9,tion after 
 the famous Buell campaign. 
 We next halt, four miles oa, all 
 
 FRANKLIN, 
 
 The county seat of Simpson county, Kontueky, aad one of 
 the most flourishing places in that State. In the spring of 
 1863, guerrillas operated extensively in the vicinity of this 
 place, throwing off trains, burning ears, <fce» On the 19th of 
 March, a short distance south, a passenger train was at- 
 tacked and robbed. The city contains 2,500 people. The 
 streets are broad and well paved, and the houses mostly of 
 tasteful archil ecture. A rich country round about gives 
 prosperity to the town, and school houses, churches, print- 
 ing offices, and all the eoacomitants of such prosperity are 
 here. 
 Our nest Btation, nine miles on, is 
 
 ■^OODBimN. 
 
 Warren county, Ky., a neighborhood post for meetings and 
 trade. Guerrillas operated here, also. A freight train, 
 heavily laden with Government mules, was caught and 
 burned. Many of the poor animals were burned alive, 
 being unable to escape. 
 Three miles on is the station 
 
 RICH FOND, 
 
 Warren county. 
 Four miles further and w® hav® 
 
 MEMPHI3 JUNCTION* 
 
 This is the connection of the branch line that runs south 
 westwardly off toward Glarksville and Blemphis. The 
 liOuisTille and Nashville Railroad Company own 64 miles 
 of that branch road, carrying to the State line at Tait's Sta- 
 tion, at which point another Company's line begins, Mem- 
 phis, Clarksville & Louisville, and runs through Clarksville, 
 and across the Cumberland to Paris, Tenn., where another 
 connection is made for Memphis. These differenii roads, 
 hov/ever, will, for purposes of travel,, operate as one, and 
 passengers taking cars at Louisville may go through to 
 Memphis without change. In another place we give brief 
 descriptions of the different towns and stations of the Mem- 
 phis Branch to the Cumberland River.

 BOWLING QRBEN^ 
 
 The capital of Warren co^iiity, Ky. This city lies on the 
 l«ft hank Of Barren River, 72 miles from Nashville and 113 
 f?S^i^n?svmeTlie place is splendidly located, m the 
 m?St of a rich and fertile region, and contains a population 
 S some ^500. There are num^erous elegant residences, and

 zans Attheopering of the war, Bowling Green was oc- 
 ctnted by the Cmifederate forces under Gen Backer. The 
 CoSflderates evacuated shortly after the fall of Donelson, 
 
 '\^the"w7rpro1Vessed, Bowling Green was the center of 
 acUveoperatiSnsrand though almost <^o» '.TnT^^the Con^^

 ?ede^tes were n^asters olf the pl^ce. Yet no event of im- 
 nortancetook place here or in its immediate vicmity. ijowl- 
 FnTGreen was strongly fortified by the Federals. On Vme- 
 Lal mirand Collele Hill stand forts that have been pro- 
 nounced hnpregnable. At all events, they could have 
 been cantured only at the sacrifice oi many lijes. . 
 
 BowlFng Green is one of the dining places for^the Louis- 
 ville and Nashville Road. Since the war an elegant new 
 Totel has been built adjoining the depot^hich n^^^^^^^^ 
 well-known Mrs. Ritte^, is giving unsurpassed satisfaction 
 
 '^OuTfo^'^o^es Barren River at this point, and travelers 
 will not fail to observe the splendid 
 
 IRON TRUSS BRIDGE 
 
 That carries locomotive and cars sc^ safely aiad firmly over. 
 TMs b?idge is the invention of Albert Fmk, Esq. now Gen- 
 eral SnpeSntendent of the road. It is a tower bridge of two 
 span, and its entire length is 412 feet. 
 Steaming on four miles we are at 
 
 BBISTOW, 
 
 Warren county, Ky., a flag-station ; and seven miles fur- 
 ther, the waving of a flag halts us at 
 
 OAlvLANI>^ 
 
 "^oTrxtTo^pis uvomilos on. in Barren ce.unty.Ky., at 
 the flag-station called

 And from thence five miles luoi'e sweeps ua to 
 
 ROCKY HILL, 
 
 Barren county. 
 Anotlicr five niiles, and we are at 
 
 GLASGOW JUNCTION. 
 
 Six miles further on, we bring up at 
 
 CAVE CITY, 
 
 Barren county. This is the landing place for visitors to the 
 famous 
 
 MAMMOTH OAVK. 
 
 A lino of coaclies runs daily over to the Cave, nine miles 
 to the west, and visitors have then before them miles of 
 underground travel. There is a good hotel at the Cave, 
 largo and commodious, whore the hungry and foot-sore 
 sight-seer may feast and rest. 
 
 Cave City is one of the chief dining places for passengers 
 over the Louisville and Nashville Road, and many a hun- 
 gry wiglit will remember the place with feelings of satisfac- 
 tion. The rebels heki the place for a time during the war 
 and on leaving destroyed the station-house and hotel, and 
 other ]>uildings, so that hardly a vestige of it remained. 
 
 Having replenished our innerselves with the substantials 
 of mine host of the Cave City Hotel, v/e are again on the 
 move, a mile away passing 
 
 WOODLAND, 
 
 Barren county. Three miles on, we reach 
 
 HORSB CAVE,

 Und.erway again, two miles run brings us to 
 
 MUNFORDSVILLE, 
 
 The capital of Hart county, Ky. Another thriving Ken-

 ''^"' GR/DGE OVER ^'"'" ' 
 
 The great bridge across Green River at this point, is one 
 of the wonders of the Louisville and Nashville Road. 
 Trains will cross and recross, and passengers hardly ob- 
 serve a motion different from that upon the i.rm earth. 
 This bridge, also, is the invention and workof Mr. A. Jmk. 
 It consist! of five-spans, is 1,012 feet Ipn^ and rests 117 feet 
 above water, and was built at a cost ot %)lbO,0UO. 
 
 Munfords'viUe, during the war, was the scene of many 
 stirring events. The Green River Bridge was one of the 
 most i7nportant points for protection on the road, and the 
 Confederates made as persistent eftbrts to destroy it as the 
 Federals to protect it. At the time of Bragg s invasion ot 
 Kentucky, two hotly contested battles were tought in sight 
 o^- hisbi^lge. Gnthe 15th of September 1862, reinforce- 
 1 ments, sentlrom Louisville by Gen. Boyle, having reached 
 the Federal garrison, a fight took place m which the as- 
 saulting Confederates were repulsed. Next day however 
 Bragg renewed the attack with increased numbers, and 
 
12' THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 compelled the garrison to surrender on the 17th. Green 
 River Bridge was blown up, and the whole road to Louis- 
 ville laid at the mercy of the invadint? enemy. 
 
 Prior to this, in 1861, while the Confederate headquarters 
 were at Bowling Green, Col. Willich's regiment of Indian- 
 ians fought in this immediate vicinity the first battle on 
 Kentucky soil. Colonel Terry, of the Texas Rangers, was 
 killed, and the Confederate forces driven back. 
 
 The cars again moving bear passengers seven miles on to 
 
 BACON CREEK, 
 
 Hart county. The bridge at this point was also burned by 
 Bragg at the time of the destruction of the Green River 
 Bridge; and on the 25th of December following, the Army 
 of the Cumberland, having in the mean timejadvanced and 
 repaired the road to Nashville, Morgan, with some 4,000 
 men, made a sweep to the rear of the Federal army, striking 
 the road at this point, and subjecting the britlge,'of course, 
 to another fall. 
 We are again steaming ahead, and in seven miles reach 
 
 UPTON STATION, 
 
 Hart county. 
 Four miles ahead we are at 
 
 SONOKA, 
 
 Hardin county, and three miles further we pull up at 
 
 NOLIN. 
 
 The bridge here was burned by Morgan. 
 Two miles on we are at 
 
 GLENDALE. 
 
 still further, eight miles, we make stop at 
 
 ELIZABETHTOWN, 
 
 The county seat of Hardin county. And agnin it is our 
 pleasure to note one of Kentucky's most prosperous cities. 
 But few places in the State surpass it in wealth, enterprise, 
 and intelligence. There is a population of about 2,500. Dur- 
 ing the war, Elizabethtown was the scene of sevei-al stirring 
 military events. (3n the 27th of December, 1862, Morgan 
 bombarded the Federal garrison and compelled its surren- 
 der. The station-house was destroyed and bridges burned. 
 From Elizabethtown, a ride of six miles brings us to the 
 famous 
 
NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 13 
 
 MUIiDKOUGn'S HILL, 
 
 Through which is passed by means of the 
 
 GREAT TUMNEL 
 
 Of the road, which is 2,300 feet in length. 
 A mile further we are again crossing one of Fink's Iron 
 
 ^*'^''Hi''iWn»i'^»'|il!li|'>lililii| 
 
 lit"' 
 
 Truss Bridges. A small stream, called Sulphur Fork, 
 courses the mountain deiile, and this bridge is thrown over 
 the gap above it. It is a sphmdid structure, 497 feet long, 
 and stands 100 feet above water. TravfJers will notice the 
 
14 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 romantic character of the country in this vicinity. The road 
 winds in and out among the hills, now clinj^ing to the side 
 of some bold bluff, now plunging through deep cuts, then 
 sweeping upon iron bridges over deep defiles, while far 
 down to the right hand winds the quiet valley, and across, 
 seemingly a stone's throw, frown huge rock-covered bluffs. 
 A half mile further on, another mountain defile is spanned 
 by a fine iron bridge. This structure is 497 feet long, and 80 
 feet high. 
 
 These two bridges thus described were destroyed by Mor- 
 gan in December, 1862. The great tunnel just passed and 
 these bridges were especially guarded by a dotatchnient of 
 >\Hleral soldiers. They had fortifications at Muldrough's 
 Hill, which v/ere surrendered on the 28th, and Morgan at 
 once reduced the immense trestle-work, then temporarily 
 supporting the bridge, to ashes. 
 
 Leaving the mountain passes and deep valleys of* Mul- 
 drough's Hill, our first stop is at 
 
 COLESBUEO, 
 
 Hardin county. 
 
 Crossing the splendid iron tower bridge over Rolling 
 Fork, four miles on, we reach 
 
 LEBANON JUNCTION. 
 
 Here branches off toward the sovitheaat, the Lebanon 
 Branch of the Louisville and Nashville Road. This line is 
 chartered on through to Knoxville, Tenn., and is now fin- 
 ished to Crab Orchard, 115 miles from Louisville, leaving 
 156 miles to Knoxville yet to be built. Forty miles of Ihis, 
 however, is graded, and in a year or two the rails will prob- 
 ably be laid through. The route is through the famous 
 Cumberland Gap, and is really the only one practicable be- 
 tween the Ohio River and Knoxville. Once completed, this 
 road will open up to tlio city of Louisville the mo.G,'nificent 
 grain region of East Tennessee, and the merchants and 
 business men of that city will reap incalculable benefits 
 from it. Elsewhere mention is made of the several stations 
 of this branch road. 
 
 From the Junction on five miles we are at 
 
 BELMONT, 
 
 Bullitt county. 
 Three miles still further brings us to 
 
 BABDSTOWN JUNCTION, 
 
 Four miles north of Bardstown Junction, wo ar« at 
 
FIXK'S Gl^EAT TOWEIt BRIDGE, 
 
 OVER KOLLIXCr FORI 
 
NASUVILLE RAILROAD. 15 
 
 SHEPHEK7>SVILLB, 
 
 Tlie county seat of Bullitt county. Passcngors canp.ot fail 
 to note the splendid iron bridico that here again markw the 
 course of the Louisville and Nashville Kailroad. The river 
 here crossed is famous in old political annals. Many a dis- 
 Gomfitted politician has navigated its sliallow waters, and 
 may be many a disheartened voyagucr has liad the political 
 life*^strangled out of him by its briny waters. Salt River 
 will live in history, and here is the veritable stream. The 
 bridge spanning it is one of the best on the road — of three 
 span, anVl 462 feft long. 
 
 Shci'iierdsville has a popnlsition of 1,000, and is tlie center 
 of a tiise producing country. There is a heavy local trade. 
 The place was occupied by the Confederates under Bragg, 
 and Salt River Bridge totally destroyed on the 28th of Sep- 
 tember, 1802. This, it will l>e observed, is but 18 miles from 
 Louisville, and the operations of the enemy here caused the 
 most serious alarm to the good people of that city. No 
 nearer approach, however, v/aa made, and on tlie 30th, 
 Buell, having re-organized his army, assumed the otfensive, 
 reaching Shepherdsviile the evening of October 2d, and 
 forcing the Confederates to retire. In nine dtnys the bridge 
 was rebuilt and trains passing over ! 
 
 Again we are on the wing, and running live miles we 
 reach the flag-station 
 
 BROOKSj 
 
 Bullitt county. 
 Moving on six miles brings us to 
 
 BANDOLrH's, 
 
 Jefferson county. 
 Nine miles more we are at 
 
 LOUISVILLE. 
 
 The northern terminus of this great avtei-y, through which 
 trade and travel flows between the Northern and Southern 
 sections of the nation, is most admirably located at the head 
 of the Falls of the Ohio, seven hundred and fifty miles from 
 Pittsburg, and four hundred and tifLy miles above Cairo. 
 Louisville was located in 1773, by Captain Thomas Bullitt, 
 v/ho led the first exploring party. On his route, Capt. Bul- 
 litt and party made treaties with the Indians of rolinquish- 
 ments of lands by them to the whites. Captain Bullitt 
 laid out the town" on its present admirable site, but died 
 without making a permanent settlement. Members of his 
 
16 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 family, bovrever, subsequently visited the locality, and his 
 descendants now reside in our midst, many of whom have 
 been and are yet among our most ©nterprising and public- 
 spirited citizens. 
 
 Small parties upon trading aad kuntisg expeditions, con- 
 tinued to visit the Falls, and the neighborhood, btit iit> pro- 
 gress was made toward the settlement of the country until 
 General Gteorge Rogers Clarke made his expedition in 1778. 
 Early in 1779, the first stockade, for the protection of the 
 settlers against Indian incursions, was erected near the riv- 
 er at the prepent terminus of Twelfth street. The first en- 
 campment was upon Corn Island, which was so designated 
 from the fact that the first crop of corn in this region was 
 grown upon that Island, which at that time ejnbraced many 
 acres of ground, and contained a dense forest. The action 
 of the water, however, has steadily diminished the area of 
 this island, until at present, during high water, this almost 
 classical spot is lost to the view, not a tree or shrub remain- 
 ing to mark a location so hallowed by the meriiories of the 
 past, and at one time so beautiful to the eye of the beholder. 
 
 Soldiers and settlers were rapidly attracted to the Falls, 
 through the energy and enterprise of Gen. Clarke and his 
 pioneer band, from the settlements in Pennsylvania and 
 Virginia. In 1780, the first fort was constructed, and in 1782 
 a larger one was built north of the present line of Main 
 street, between Sixth and Eighth, and was called ** Fort 
 Nelson," in honor of the Governor of Virginia, 
 
 Trading voyages above and beiov/ the Falls were frequent- 
 ly made to the new vsettlement. These trading expeclitions 
 generally originated at Pittsburg, and wore carried on 
 through the medium of fiat boats. The first voyage of this 
 kind was conducted liy Colonel Richard Taylor and his 
 brother, and was extended from Pittsburg to the mouth of 
 the Yazoo River, during the year 1769. Another trading ex- 
 pedition in 1776, under the supervision of Messrs. Gibson 
 and Linn, and still another under Messrs. Tardivean and 
 Houori, v/aa the inauguration of a trade with New Orleans, 
 the former expedition embarking at Pittsburg, and the lat- 
 ter at Redstone, now Brownsville, in 1782. These compa- 
 nies subsequently made Louisville the base of their opera- 
 tions, and extended their trading expeditions anriong the 
 French and Spanish settlers of the Mississippi. 
 
 In 1780 Kentucky was embraced within the boundaries of 
 the three counties of Jefierson, Fayette, and Lincoln, of 
 which vast region Louisville was the^ center. The headquar-

 m 
 
 ters of the Territorial Government, the first Land Office, 
 and all the records were held at Louisville. 
 
 Of course the first buildings erected were mere log huts. 
 The first house constructed with a single roof was that built 
 by John Campbell, in the fort at Twelfth street. The first 
 brick edifice built in Louisville was by Mr. F. A. Kayo, 
 the paternal ancestor of Wm. Kaye, sr., the present eflicient 
 Collector of Back Taxes. 
 
 The first accurate account of the inauguration of any thing 
 like municipal forms that we have in connection v/ith the 
 history of Louisville, is contained in the proceedings of the 
 first meeting of the Trustees of the town, held at the house 
 of Archibald Armstrong, and elected in pursuance of an act 
 of the General Assembly, on Monday, June 5, 1797, at which 
 there were present Archibald Armstrong, G. J. Johnston, 
 John Easten, Henry Duncan, and Richard Prather, whom 
 the Clerk, (Worden Pope,) as was the custom then, desig- 
 nates as " Gentlemen." Archibald Armstrong was chosen 
 Chairman of the body to whose hands had been committed 
 the welfare of the future metropolis. At a subsequent 
 meeting of the Trustees it was ordered that Dr. Elisha L. 
 ILall be requested to call upon the inhabitants of the town 
 " living on or within the half-acre lots " thereof, for a list 
 of their property subject to taxation. It was also ordered 
 that Evan Williams be appointed Harbor Master, it being 
 made "his duty to efiectually keep clean the harbor at and 
 within the mouth of Beargrass, and to remove all nuisances 
 therein as far up said creek as the town lots extend, and 
 down the river as far as the upper corner of his fence, and 
 one hundred yards above the mouth of the creek," 
 
 The first formal levy of taxes for all purposes was made 
 July 3, 1797, for the collection of which Dr. Elisha L. Hall 
 received the commission. The levy was as follows: 50 
 horses, at 6d per head, £1 5s ; 65 slaves, at Is per head, £3 5s; 
 2 billiard tables, at 20s, £2; 5 ordinary licenses at 6s each, 
 £1 10s ; 5 retail stores at 10s each, £2 10s ; 6 wheel carriages 
 at 2s per wheel, £1 12s ; town lots at 5s per lot, £S IBs 6d ; 
 and 80 tithal>les at 3s each, iil2 — making the total revenue 
 c-£31 5s 6d for the year. It appears that the said Dr. Elisha 
 L. Hall, Collector, did not settle satisfactorily w^ith the 
 Trustees, and it was ordered in a meeting in October, 1798, 
 that he shall explain the cause of his delinquency at a sub- 
 sequent meeting, an order v/hich the historian fears he 
 failed to obey, as many of his successors have done. 
 
 In 1801 a resolution passed the Board of Trustees empow- 
 ering Thomas Prather and James McConnell to solicit sub- 
 
18 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 scriptions for tlie const^mition of a bridge across Beargrass, 
 to the end that a road might be nmd© from Louisville to the 
 month of Goose Creek.

 Louisville was incorporated as a city in 1828, with J, C. 
 Bucklin as Mayor, and Geo. W. Merriweather, B. G. Weir, 
 Jas, Guthrie, Jas. Rudd, J. P. DeClary, Jacob Miller, Rob- 
 ert Buckner,' F. A. Kayo, J. M. Talbott, and W. Alsop, as 
 Councilmen, the corporation being divided into five wards, 
 withtv/o Councilmen from each ward. The oth«r city offi- 
 cers were Samuel Dickonson, Clerk ; E. D. Hobbs, City 
 Surveyor; John P. Tuustal, City Collector; M. R. Wig- 
 gington, City Attorney , Fred. Turner, Marshal ; S.S. Good- 
 win and John O'Bierne, Port Wardens. 
 
 In 1804 the Kentucky Legislature incorporated a Compa- 
 ny to cut a canal around the Falls, but nothing was done 
 until January 12th, 1825, when the Louisville and Portland 
 Canal Company v/aa organized, with a capital of f600,000 . 
 The stock was taken by about seventy persons, residing in 
 Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, 
 New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, the United States 
 holding 2,335 shares, and 1,665 issued to private individuals. 
 Many difficulties attended the construction of the work, 
 which was not completed until December 5th, 1830. During 
 the year 1831, 406 steamboats, 46 keelboats, and 357 flatboats, 
 measuring 76,323 tons, passed through the locks. 
 
 An attractive feature of Louisville at the present time is 
 the magnificence of her private residences, vfith the spacious 
 grounds surrounding them, and the splendor of many of 
 her public buildings, including the Custom House, her pub- 
 
NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 19 
 
 lie school edifices, Court House, and Cathedral, and other 
 houses of public worship, of which there are forty-two, 
 many of which are the finest specimens of church archi- 
 tecture in the country. 
 
 Since the inauguration of an admirable system of street 
 railroads, the development of the almost limitless suburbs 
 has gone steadily forward, and the population find cheap 
 and agreeable sites for dwellings at a convenient distance 
 in the vicinity, these railroads, (of whicli there are com- 
 pleted and in the course of construction nearly fifty miles,) 
 making it not only possible, but really pleasant, for mer- 
 chants, mechanics, and other business men to reside several 
 miles from the scene of their daily labors. The future of 
 Louisville, therefore, is most flattering, and bids fair to far 
 outstrip the realization of the fervid anticipations of its 
 warmest or most enthusiastic admirers. Its location, situ- 
 ated upon a high, broad plateau, 70 feet above the river, af- 
 fords an area Ibr building purposes and extended popula- 
 tion of millions of inhabitants, without being crowded or 
 compelled to ascend high and rugged hills for suitable loca- 
 tions for residences, business houses, or manufacturing sites. 
 This area is so sloped and graded by nature, that. little or no 
 expense need be incurred in prej)aring the ground for build- 
 ing upon, there being land enough for each family of two 
 millions of inhabitants, to have, not only a separate dwell- 
 ing, but a lot large enough to detach it on all sides from oth- 
 er buildings, thus securing fresh air and sunlight, and such 
 other domestic comforts and conveniences as few, if any 
 cities on the continent, can ofter. 
 
 With such natural advantages, it is not strange that the 
 merchants and manufacturers of Louisville are stimulated 
 to the exercise of a high degree of enterprise in the prosecu- 
 tion of business. Manufactories are springing up on every 
 hand, and the country-dealer may find here, at as cheap, if 
 not cheaper rates, every article in every department of trade 
 heretofore purchased in Northern and Eastern markets. 
 
 The supplies of gas and w^ater, the possession of which in 
 a populous city is next in importance almost to the very air 
 we breathe, are abundant, and rare facilities are offered for 
 the enlargement of these supplies at comparatively trifling 
 cost, as the stock in the Gas and Water Companies is owned 
 almost exclusively by the city corporation, it being the 
 policy of the municipal authorities, who have control of 
 those works, to furnish both gas and water to the inhabi- 
 tants at a cost that will barely defray the expense of their 
 manufacture and dissemination. 
 
20 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 The Steam Fire Department, which is under the supervi- 
 sion of Col. A. Y. Johnson, who is one of tlie most skillful 
 and devoted firemen in America, is an assurance against 
 large or disastrous fires. Since the addition of the Fire 
 Alarm Telegraph, which announces a fire simultaneously 
 in all parts of the city, and indicates to a certainty the loca- 
 tion of the fire, there is a positive security against serious 
 conflagrations. 
 
 The railroad connections with Louisville, (to the securing 
 of Vihich the Hon. Jas. Guthrie, the present President of 
 the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, contributed more 
 than any other individual,) are all that could be desired. 
 There are two roads which have their termini on the oppo- 
 site side of the Ohio, which intersect the Ohio and Mis- 
 sissippi Railroad, penetrating the net-work of railroads 
 that permeate the North, East, and West. The Louisville 
 and Nashville Railroad, Avith its various branches, has its 
 immediate connections which 'traverse the South, rendering 
 Louisville the natural market for the sale of the rich pro- 
 ducts of the South and the base of supplies for that vast region. 
 The Louisville and Frankfort Railroad Company, apprecia- 
 ting the importance of its position, have secured a charter 
 for an air-lino road to Cincinnati, and that work is being 
 vigorously pushed forward, under the sxipervision of that ac- 
 complished and energetic engineer. Col. Sam'l. Gill, thus 
 securing the advantage, when completed, of a four-hour 
 run between Louisville and Cincinnati. 
 
 To be brief, the present of Louisville is more than a reali- 
 zation of the brightest dreams of those who, a quarter of a 
 century ago, were most sanguine of her prosperity ; and her 
 prospects in the future are most glowing. 
 
 THE MEMPHIS BRANCH. 
 
 The Memphis Branch of the Louisville and Nashville 
 Railway, starting at the connection, five miles south of 
 Bowling Green, traverses, perhaps, the heaviest tobacco 
 growing region of Kentucky. Not a station along tliat 
 route but gives evidence of the thrift of the country about 
 it. Leaving the Junction, the first station made, five miles 
 on, is 
 
 ROOKFIELD, 
 
 in Warren county. 
 
NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 21 
 
 Next, after another run of five miles, we are at the vil- 
 age of 
 
 SOUTH UNION, 
 
 in Logan county. This place is famous as the home of a 
 congregation of Shakers. They are an industrious, hardy 
 people, and through habits of kindness and correct dealing, 
 have gained and hold the respect of their neighbors gener- 
 ally. 
 A three miles ride brings us to 
 
 AUBURN, 
 
 A flag-station. 
 On again for five miles, and we are at 
 
 MCLEOD. 
 
 Seven miles further, we halt at the thriving city of 
 
 RUSSELLVILLE, 
 
 The capital of Logan county. The passenger will hardlv 
 find, in all his travels, a more cliarming place than this. 
 There is a great deal of wealth in the community, and one 
 sees upon every hand the evidence of it. Elegant residen- 
 ces, tasteful grounds, and fine equipages, abound in Rus- 
 sell ville. The city has a splendid local trade, vast quanti- 
 ties of tobacco annually seeking it for sliipment and sale. 
 Its population is about 2,000. 
 Six miles on, we have 
 
 WHIPPOORWILL, 
 
 Logan county; and further on, three miles, we are at 
 
 OLMSTEA.D. 
 
 Next in order, after a four miles ride, stands 
 
 ALLENSVILLE, 
 
 Todd county. Great quantities of tobacco are generally 
 shipped at this point. 
 Another move, and in five miles v/o are at 
 
 HADfiNSVILLB, 
 
 Todd county ; and three miles on we cross the 
 
 STATE LINE. 
 
 Here we enter the rich county of Montgomery, Tennessee, 
 stop for a moment at 
 
22 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 tait's station, 
 Then, in two and a half miles, another moment at 
 
 Hampton's, 
 And in five miles, after a check at 
 ,; . cherry's, 
 
 We sweep over the immense bridge and trestle that crosses 
 Red River, and are at 
 
 CLARKSVILLE. 
 
 The capital of Montgomery county, Tenn. Before the war, 
 this thriving city stood third on the list in the State. She had a 
 population of over 6,000, and did an immense foreign and lo- 
 cal trade. Thousands of hogsheads of tobacco were packed 
 and shipped annually. Immense quantities of goods wore 
 imported and sold by retail and by quantity throughout the 
 rich country surrounding. The citizens of Clarksville wore 
 noted for their wealth, their intelligence, and their public 
 spirit. Some of the finest schools of the State were here, 
 and in piety, eloquence, and learning, the Clarksville pul- 
 pits were unsurpassed. 
 
 The city was strongly Southern in (sentiment, and, as a 
 consequence, lost a large proportion of its inhabitants at the 
 outbreak of hostilities ; and the Federal occupation bore 
 heavily on those who remained. Buildings were neglected, 
 the gas works, that before the war, illuminated streets and 
 houses, were destroyed, college and school buildings were 
 vacated, and hardly a spot in the town but that felt the 
 blight of war. Things are again clianged, however. The 
 coming of peace brought again to Clarksville its old, ener- 
 getic residents. Trade revived, houses were repainted, 
 streets repaired, gas works put in order, and once more re- 
 inhabited, the city puts in claim for its rank among the 
 cities of Tennessee. 
 
 THE LEBANON BRANCH. 
 
 The Lebanon Branch Road connects with the main line 
 twenty-nine miles out from Louisville. 
 
 The first station on the branch, five miles from the junc- 
 tion, is 
 
 BOSTON, 
 
 Nelson county. 
 Four and a half miles further we are at 
 
NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 23 
 
 NELSON FURNACE. 
 
 Underway again, we rnn five and a half miles and reach 
 
 NEW HAVEN. 
 
 Then four sailes to 
 
 OE7HSEMANE. 
 
 Then six miles to 
 
 CHICAGO, 
 
 Marion county. 
 Further on six and a half nailes to 
 
 ST. MAET^S. 
 
 Another six miles and we are at 
 
 LEBANON, 
 
 The county seat of Marion county. This is one of the thriv- 
 ing towns of Kentucky, famous for the intelligence and ed- 
 ucational enterprise of its people. 
 Frona Lebanon we have a run of six miles to 
 
 PENICEj 
 
 Marion county. 
 Then three miles to 
 
 SILEY's &TATION. 
 
 Then four miles to 
 
 Marion county. 
 Then three miles to 
 
 Boyle county. 
 Then one mile to 
 
 Then three miles to 
 
 Then six miles to 
 
 NOETH FOEK, 
 
 BEUMFIELD, 
 
 MITCHELSBUEO. 
 
 PAEESVILLB. 
 
 DANVILLE STATION. 
 
 The station, called South Danville, is four miles from 
 Danville proper. 
 
 DANVILLE, 
 
 Is the county seat of Boyle county, and one of the impor- 
 tant points of the State. This, as many other of the interior 
 cities of Kentucky, is noted for its institutions of learning. 
 
24 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 Education, intelligence, refinement, are characteristics of 
 the. place, and strangers visiting cannot fail to observe it; 
 and the country about is unsurpassed in fertility of soil and 
 generous cultivation. The tradesmen and merchants of 
 Danville are enterprising and prosperous. The city has a 
 population of about 3,000. 
 Leaving Danville, a ride of eight miles finds us at 
 
 STANFORD. 
 
 And eleven miles on, we are at the present terminus of the 
 branch, 
 
 OEAB ORCHARD. 
 
 This place is celebrated throughout Kentucky for its min- 
 eral springs, and hundreds yearly congregate here for the 
 purpose of using the water. The celebrated Crab Orchard 
 >SalLs are manufactured here. 
 
 THE CONDUCTORS. 
 
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad have been exceed- 
 ingly fortunate in securing the invaluable services of old 
 and tried railroad men— men who have for a lifetime been 
 identified with this interest. Nothing does more to add to 
 the security the traveler feels than to know he is in the 
 hands of experienced and reliable conductors. 
 
 Among the many familiar faces that have for years greet- 
 ed tlie traveling community with their pleasant faces and 
 "Ticket! sir," are Captain Thomas Berry, Captain Fish. 
 C. Henry, Major B. Compton, Major Gault, Captain Wm. 
 Sweeny,' Captain Billy Knox, Harry Blackstone, Captain 
 Haines, Captain William Taylor, and Matt. Lowe, whose 
 genial smiles and uniform gentlemanly bearing are not 
 soon forgotten. 
 
 SLEEPING CARS. 
 
 Attached to each of the night trains on this road is one of 
 Payne, Harris & Co.'s luxurious sleeping cnrs, built in the 
 mo'st substantial manner, with all the modern improye- 
 ments, particularly the ventilation, which is considered the 
 most perfect in use. Wide couches, the best of mattrasses, 
 and pillows, with clean sheets and bedding, render to 
 the Vv'eary traveler a, night's rest unsurpassed in any well 
 regulated hotel.

 LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE RAILROAD, 
 
 DURIN<5 THE WAR, 
 
 ^'«m y«^^3/^ 1881, *o ^ri^Z, 1865, 
 
 Oaa ;t±te 4t!a of J'aiy., 1861, <loverJK)r Karris, of. Tennessee, 
 ordered that poi^A<m. of tfee Lo«isvill« and iMashville Railr 
 road m tiie State of Ten-s^ssee to be sei-zed by the Tennessee 
 State troops. By this act of -the Confederate Governor the 
 L. <fe N. Railroad Ocmvp^iy lost 45 sailes of their road, and 
 were prevented ft-o?ii doinii? saiy business south of Bowling 
 Greeai. With tfce road were seixed 5 locomotives, 61) freight 
 cars, tmd S passenger and baggage cars. 
 
 Not until the evacua*io?i of Nashville in February, 1862, 
 did this part of the road <xM«e «§aia into the possession of 
 the Comi^any, 
 
 The Memphis Ursxtc^^ r<n«d '^.'s.s operated to the Kentucky 
 State line ««itil th«3 iT^t'h of September, 1861, when Buckner 
 invaded the State of Ke^itweky with a large force, taking 
 possession of Bowling Oreen, «nd coming up as far as Eliz- 
 abetfatown -and Rolling Foi-lc, v/ithin 30 miles of Louisville. 
 The bridge over Et^llisag Fork was set on fire. By this 
 seizure 11 locomotives, 11 passenger, 3 baggage, and 159 
 freight cars, €omprisi?ig nearly the whole of the rolling 
 stock of the Ooaip<?Aiy, fell icito the hands of the Confed- 
 erates. 
 
 On the J^etliof Septem?iver, i^l, nothing was left to the 
 Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company but 80 miles 
 of the main stem of their roatl -?.nd the Lebanon Branch— 
 37 miles long. Of m IxK-oinotives mily V-} were left, and 
 these partly disabled; of 22 |5?>.ssei-iger cars only 8, and of 
 300 freight cars only 75 reaiained to the Company. 
 
 Those were glootny dnyn for tlie Louisville and Nashville 
 Railroad, Ttie roa>d i^acl only lately been opened lor busi- 
 ness. The Bieaas of the Company were esihausled by its 
 construction, and now the greatest part of the road was in 
 
26 THE LOUISTILLK AND 
 
 the bands of the Confede^at;! g, iBspor't&^nt b-rMse-'* were de- 
 stroyed, and the rolling ^s-tock takefi away, and this at the 
 beginning of the eivil Ai^a-r, the uitii^'iist.e- i'esulfe of which 
 could not have been doubtful, altlx) ugh no one eo^tld then 
 tell the immediate effects of it upon the State of Kentucky 
 and upon the fate of the I^ouisville and Kaskvill® Railroad. 
 Nothing, however, could dismay tlve managers of the road. 
 Mr. Gutlirie, from that time forward, gave his personal at- 
 tention to the operation of the road, especially to the trans- 
 portation department, while Mr, A.. Fink, the Engineer,. de- 
 voted his attention to the reconstruction of the road and the 
 rebuilding of the rolling stock. 
 
 During the progress of the vrar the 13 locomotives were 
 increased to 60, the 8 i>a.ssenger cars to 42, and the 75- freight 
 cars to 520. During tiie existence of hostilities 20 passenger, 
 7 baggage, and 217 freight cars were destroyed on the roacl. 
 
 The greatest foresight was displayed irr always having 
 enough roiling stock ready at the precise time it was re- 
 quired by the ever-changing necessities of the atlvancing 
 army, making due allowance im the continual destiniction 
 of cars and engines by i-aids on tlr-e road,. Vfhen the Gov- 
 ernment commenced to operate OU' their own account the 
 roads south of Nashville, they had to use the roiling stock 
 of the Louisville and Nashville Railway to a great extent. 
 For months they had in use 15 engines aiid 230 cars of this 
 Company, without the assistance of which the plans oi the 
 military commanders could not have been carried out. 
 
 We have mentioned a!x)ve that, on the 18th of September, 
 active operations by the Confederates commenced on the 
 L. & N. R. R. On the night of the same day General Sher- 
 man advanced witii a regiirientof volunteers'^ raised by Gen- 
 eral Rousseau, to Rolling Fork^ as far as the railroad Avas 
 left undisturbed. The bridge over Rolling Fork wa- found 
 still in flames. This regiment was the embryo of the Army 
 of the Cumberland. Large Teinforcen:jents were obtained 
 from time to time, and^ as the size of the army was in- 
 creased, it was advanced further southward toward Green 
 River and Bowling Green. 
 
 Halting points for ihe army were made at Rolling Fork, 
 Elizabethtown, Nolin, Bacon Creek, and Green River. As 
 the army advanced the Confederates retired, desti-oying 
 the bridges as they retired, and tearing up the track. The 
 longest halt was made at Green River. A part of the beau- 
 tiful iron bridge over that stream had been destroyed, and 
 one pier, 90 feet high, had been blown up, and a gap of 400 
 feet had thus been made in the road. 
 
NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 27 
 
 Here the first fight, between a regiment of Texan Rangers 
 and the 32d Indiana infantry, occurred. The Texans made 
 the attack upon the guard, who were protecting the work- 
 men on the bridge. Colonel Terry, of the Texans, was 
 killed in this fight. Both parties fought with great gal- 
 lantry. Colonel (now General) Willich was in command of 
 the Federal troops. 
 
 Although the Green Kiver bridge had been rebuilt by the 
 Railroad Company, and was ready for the passage of trains 
 by the 10th of January, (the army arrived at Green River 
 bridge on the 15th of December,) General Buell did not ad- 
 vance the Army of the Cumberland until the 12th of Feb- 
 ruary, 1862. W^hile General Grant was before Fort Donel- 
 son the Army of the Cumberland, by a forced march under 
 General Mitchell, occupied Bowling Green, and, soon there- 
 after, Nashville. 
 
 Thus the Louisville and Nashville Railroad passed again 
 into the hands of its rightful owners, in a sadly dilapidated 
 condition, however. The beautiful iron bridge over Barren 
 River, which had only been completed a month before the 
 war broke out, was a complete ruin ; the bridge over the 
 Cumberland River at Nashville had been burned ; in fact, 
 nearly all the bridges, depots, and shop-buildings had been 
 destroyed ; the track had been torn up for miles, and the 
 water-stations and the fire- wood had been burned. 
 
 On the 28th of February, 1862, however, the road was in 
 successful operation again as far as Barren River, and from 
 Barren River to the Cumberland. On the 8th of April Bar- 
 ren River was crossed by the trains, and early in June the 
 bridge over the Cumberland River had been completed, as 
 also the bridges on the 2Jemphis Branch. But even before 
 these works were completed and the road put in running 
 order again, the railroad officers were painfully made aware 
 of the fact that although the Fedej al army had advanced 
 beyond Nashville and Clarksville, the termini of their road, 
 this did not give full protection to it. On the 15th of March, 
 1862, General Morgan appeared suddenly at Gallatin, 26 
 miles in the rear of the Federal army, captured a construc- 
 tion train and burned the cars. On the 11th of May he 
 again appeared at Cave City, 100 miles north of Nashville, 
 and captured a passenger and a freight train, destroying 37 
 freight cars and 3 passenger coaches. 
 
 The Army of the Cumberland, in July, 1862, had ad- 
 vanced into Middle Tennessee. The seat of war had been 
 far removed from the line of the Louisville and Nashville 
 Railroad, and no apprehensions were entertained by the 
 
28 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 officers of that Company as to the future security of the 
 road. Mr. Fink, in his report, made to the stockholders of 
 the Company on the 1st of July, 1863, alluding to the expe- 
 rience of the past year, sp^ys : 
 
 " These favorable expectations were, however, not real- 
 ized. During the twelve months from July 1, 1862, to July 
 1, 1863, the road lias been operated for its entire length but 
 for 7 months and 12 days. The main stem from Edgefield, 
 opposite Nashville, and the Memphis, Lebanon, and^Bards- 
 towa Branches, were, at various times during the j^ear, in 
 the possession of the Confederate forces. For a period of 
 two weeks trains could not even venture to leave Louisville. 
 
 " All the bridges and trestle-work on the main stem and 
 branches, with the exception of the bridge over Barren 
 River and four small bridges, were destroyed and built du- 
 ring the year ; some of the structures were" destroyed twice, 
 and soine three times. In addition to this, most of the v/a- 
 ter-stiitions, several depots, and a large number of cars were 
 burnt, a. number of engines badly damaged, and a tunnel 
 in Tennessee nearly filled up for a distance of 800 feet." 
 
 We would respectfully refer the reader to the interesting 
 report made by the Engineer of the road in regard to the de- 
 tails of tlie operation on the line of the Louisville and Nash- 
 ville Railroad, during the year from July, 1862, to July, 
 1863. We have only here space to refer to the general result 
 of. this year's operations. 
 
 Gen. 'Morgiin took' possession of the Louisville and Nash- 
 ville Railroad at Gallatin, in August, 1862, and this, with 
 other causes, forced Gen. Buell's retreat to Louisville, Gen. 
 Bragg's army following him. As Bragg's army passed 
 over the road, tliey again destroyed all the inij)ortant bridges. 
 After Gen. Bueli had been reinforced at Louisville, he com- 
 menced again his youth v/ard march on the 30th of Septem- 
 ber. The Confederate forces retreated before him, after the 
 battle of Perryviile was fought. 
 
 While the Army of the Cumberland was advancing, the 
 Railroad Company v/ere rebuilding the bridges and tlie 
 road. They liad to rebuild the bridge over Salt River, 450 
 feet long, 46 ivet high ; the bridge over Rolling Fork, 400 feet 
 long, 65 feet high; the bridge over Bacon Creek, 100 feet 
 long, 25 feet high; and part of the bridge over Green River, 
 400 fe<^t long, 100 feet higii. All this work was done in the 
 month of October, and as soon as the Arm^'- of the Cumber- 
 land reached Bowling Green, trains were running over the 
 road from Louisville, to carry to the army at that point 
 the necessary supplies. 
 
j NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 29 
 
 I On the 15tb of Novemher, the Army of the Cumberlaud, 
 j now under its new commander, Gen. Roseeranz, had 
 1 reached Mitchellville, and soon thereafter commenced their 
 I marcli to Nashville. 
 
 I A great deal of work remained to be done on the Railroad 
 
 I between IMitchellville and Nashville— nearly all the bridges 
 
 ] were destroyed, and a tunnel, which was nearly filled up, 
 
 had to be cleared. On tlse 11th of November, this v/ork was 
 
 com.menoed, and on the 25th it was completed, and trains 
 
 were again run thi-ougli from Louisville to Nashville for the 
 
 first time since the 14th of September. 
 
 During the next month, the Army of the Cumberland was 
 
 i advancing toward Murfreesboro, and the Louisville and 
 
 I Nashville Railroad was considered once more safe from 
 
 farther attacks, but again were disappointed. The following 
 
 we copy from Mr. Fink's report: 
 
 " On the 25th of December, exacthy one month after the 
 road had been re-opened to Nashville, Gen. Morgan made 
 his appearance at Glasgow, with from 3,000 to 4,000 men. 
 Thence he moved north, parallel with the road, and, avoid- 
 ing the fortifications at Munfordville, struck our road at 
 Bacon Creek, eight miles north of that place. From that 
 place he swept over the road for a distance of thn-ty-five 
 miles, burning and destroying all the bridges, culverts, de- 
 pots, water-stations, fire-wood, etc., on his route. On the 
 27th he had reached Elizabethtown, which place he bom- 
 barded, forcing the Federal guard statiouied there to surren- 
 der. On the 28th he attacked the fortifications at Mul- 
 drough's Hill, where the garrison also surrendered, giving 
 i ]Storgan possession of the heavy trestle-works, which he 
 I immediately reduced to a heap of ashes. Ills advance 
 guards came within twenty-eight miles of Louisville, where 
 they burned Cane Run bridge. Two bridges on the Leba- 
 non Branch, but recently permanently reconstructed, Avere 
 also burned, and preparations had been made to destroy 
 every important structure on that x^art of the road, when, 
 fortunately, Colonel Harlan, who had been sent by General 
 Ros.-cranz'in pursuit of Morgan, caught up with him on the 
 30th, at Rolling Fork, and arrested his further mtnements 
 north. Morgan left the line of the Ruad, after ha vmg de- 
 stroyed 2,290 feet of bridging, besides three depots, three 
 water-stations, and a number of culverts and cattle-guards. 
 "The work of reconstruction was commenced on the 3ist 
 of December at Cane Run, twenty-eight miles from Louis- 
 ville, and at the same time at Bacon Creek, sixty-three 
 miles from Louisville. On the 2d of January Big Run 
 
30 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 trestle was reached. This structure, 500 feet long, and 80 
 feet high, was nearly completed on the 15th, when a heavy 
 snow-storm, unusual in this climate, covered the ground 
 with eighteen inches of snow and interrupted the work for 
 a whole week. The sudden thawing swelled all the streams, 
 endangering the bridges along the entire line. The trestle 
 over Rolling Fork, on the Lebanon Branch, was swept 
 away, as well as two bridges on the southei-n end of the 
 main stem. Work was again resumed at Big Kun on the 
 21st, and on the 23d this trestle was tinished. On the same 
 day Sulphur Fork trestle, 90 feet high and 500 feet long, was 
 commenced, which structure v/as ready for the passage of 
 trains on the 1st of February ; and the bridge-force opera- 
 ting from the southern end having completed their work 
 four days previously, trains could again run through to 
 Nashville. 
 
 " Since the 1st of February, when through connection 
 was re-established with Nashville, trains have been run- 
 ning with great regularity, with the exception of short de- 
 lays caused by the attacks of small bands of guerrillas, who 
 still infest the country, devoting themselves to the destruc- 
 tion of cars, depots, bridges, and other properties of the Com- 
 pany. The depot at South Union, on the Memphis Branch, 
 was' burned, together with two cars, on the 21st of Februa- 
 ry. On the 26th of February, a train of twenty-two cars, 
 loaded with Government mules, fell into the hands of guer- 
 rillas at Woodburu. They burned the cars with the mules 
 in them, and started the locomotive, under a full head of 
 steam, down the road. A collision with the passenger train 
 coming in the opposite direction, and then due at the station, 
 was only prevented by accident. The trestle at South 
 Drake's Creek had been damaged by the high water, which 
 prevented the train from arriving at the station on time. 
 
 " On the 19th of March a passenger train was thrown from 
 the track one and a half miles from Richland, by guerrillas, 
 who, after firing several volleys into the cars, commenced 
 the work of plundering the passengers, and paroling the 
 officers and soldiers aboard. But the bridge-guard at Rich- 
 land, having heard the firing, soon came to the rescue, and 
 driving off the guerrilhis, saved the train. 
 
 " On the 27th of March, the passenger train was attacked 
 near Franklin ; a fight took place between the train-guard 
 and the guerrillas, in wiiich several of the latter were killed, 
 and the rest dispersed. The train escaped uninjured. 
 
 " On the 2d of April, a wood train was thrown from the 
 
NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 31 
 
 track by gu:errillaa near Franklin, ami five flat cars and one 
 bojirding car were burned. 
 
 "On tlie 10th of April, while a freight train was passing 
 at tlie usual speed round Cumberland Bluff, ten miles north 
 of Nashville, the Rebels fii-ed at it fi-oin the opposite side of 
 the river. Four cannon balls and a number of musket shots 
 struck the-eaigine, damaging it severely; and several of the 
 train-guards were wouncfed. No further attempt was made 
 to destroy the train, which was loaded with Government 
 freight, 
 
 "OnlheiSth of May, the train was fired into at South 
 Union, on the Memphis Bi-anch, while passing the station, 
 but no' injury was done. 
 
 "Hampton's trestle, cm the Memphis and Clarksville 
 Railroad, but recently re-built by us, was burnt again on 
 the 22d of May. 
 
 "On the 13th of June, a freight train going south fell into 
 the hands of guerrillas, at Elizabethtown, forty-two miles 
 from Louisville. They set fire to the cars and then started 
 the whole train, all in n bla^e, down the road. Two miles 
 south of the town it met a freight train coming north, but 
 was fortunately discovered in time to prevent a serious col- 
 lision." 
 
 From the report of operations during the year, from July 
 1, 1863, to July 1, 1864, we copy the tbllowing brief account 
 from the oiflcial report of the Engineer: 
 
 "On the 4th of July, 1^3, the advance guard ef Morgan's 
 command appeared near Lebanon, burned Hardin Creek 
 bridge, and mude an attempt to capture a train at St. Ma- 
 ry's, but were repulsed by the train -guard. One soldier, a 
 passenger on the train, was killed in this attack. 
 
 "On the 5th of July, Morgan captured Lebanon, after an 
 obstinate fight wi-bh the Federal force ; the depot-buildings 
 and engine-house at that place were completely destroyed, 
 and the cars in the depot-yard burned. 
 
 " On the 6th of July, Morgan, on his way to the north of 
 the Ohio, crossed the main stem of the road at Bardstown 
 Junction, captured a passenger train there, which he after- 
 wards released, and burned the bridge over Long Lick, 
 together with the adjoining tank-house. 
 
 "Since that time no large organieed foi-ces have been on 
 the road, but we have suflTered considerable losses from 
 small bands of guerrillas, whose object is less to interfere 
 with the oi^eration of the road t-han to rob the passengers 
 and trains, and to gratity their love of wanton destruction. 
 
32 THE LOUISYILLS AKI> 
 
 " On the 4tli of July, the depot at Ko&ky Hill, which had 
 just been re-bnilt, was again biimed by sucfe a, band. 
 
 "On the 28th of July, three freight cara wer<^ burned at 
 AUensYille.

 "March 25th— A construction tram was captured at Glas- 
 gow Junction. The engine wnvs sent down the road by itself 
 and came inf!ollision with a freight train coming north. 
 
 " In the above t\i-eenuraierate<i all the attacks made on the 
 road which resulted in loss of or damage to th& Compiiny's 
 property Numerous attempts, more or iess swccesstui, 
 were made to thmw otf trains, and tlie latter were frequent- 
 ly fired into, the employees i-oblx-^l, maltreated, and otten 
 driven fi'om the road ; Vmt no. oilier direct loss wiis sitstained 
 by the Compitny, ex(;ept such as would act^nie fFe-i» the in- 
 creased difl6cultii«s. of operating the road. fcJinc-e the restora- 
 
34 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 tion of peace, the road has not been disturbed ; and setting 
 aside all other considerations, tlie fact that we have no 
 longer to contend with tiiese harrassing circumstances, and 
 that we can now close forever the account of loss sustained 
 by the Company through Confederates or guerrillas, affords 
 no little satisfaction." 
 
 The total amount of damage to the Company's property 
 during the war is estimated at $688,372 50. 
 
 From the above brief history of the events connected with 
 tlie Louisville and Nashville Railroad during the late war, 
 the reader will readily grant that the officers who had the 
 management of the road, Vv'ore constantly laboring under 
 great dithculties, and that the manner in which they over- 
 (*ame ail the difficulties, stamp them as men of the first order. 
 Nor are the oncers alone entitled to all the credit. The sol- 
 dier on the field of battle exhibits no more courage than the 
 engineer, who, in the dark night, dashes at lightning speed 
 over a track which he might find at any time obstructed. 
 The danger with him was constant. From the time he left 
 Louisviiie until he reached Nashville, he was, at any mo- 
 ment, liable to be thrown off of the track, or pierced with 
 bullets. Engines were several times started by the guerril- 
 las to run into coniing trains; and tearing up the track for 
 tfie purpose of throwing them off, was of almost daih^ occur- 
 rence. No employee's life was safe along the line wlien such 
 men as Magruder, Sue Munday, and Harper held sovereign 
 sway. Yet all stood nobly to their posts, performing their 
 duties faithfully, and with alacrity under the most trying 
 circumstances. They were neitfher unconscious nor un- 
 mindful of their danger, but they also knew that they were 
 seconding the etfbrts of the nation to restore the Union., and 
 they willingly risked their lives in the perfoimaneeof their 
 duties. These veterans have seen hard service without re- 
 cei^ ing bounty or land warrant. Let the nation honor them ! 
 
HON. JAMES GUTHRIE. 
 
NASHVILLE KAILROAD. 35 
 
 HON. JAMES GUTHRIE. 
 
 Hon. James Guthrik was born in Nelson Countv, Ky., 
 in 1793, and is of Scotch-Irish descent. His lather, General 
 Adam Guthrie, emigrated to tlieWest from tlse State of Vir- 
 ginia at an early period, and was a very active, energetic 
 man, and very generally beloved. He distinguished 
 himself in the Indian wais, and afterwards devoted his 
 time to civil pursuits, serving in the Legislature of Ken- 
 tucky for four or five sessions to the entire satisfaction of 
 his constituents. 
 
 Mr. Guthrie's education was partly conducted by the 
 late James I. Dosier, and was completed at McAlister's 
 Academy, Bardstown, Ky., one of the best institutions of 
 learning of the time to be found in the West. After com- 
 pleting his course in the Academy he embarked in the Mis- 
 sissippi River trade, buying up the produce of the country 
 and taking it to New Orleans in tlat-boats, returning by 
 land either on ipot or on horse-back. But finding, "after 
 several tx-ips, that this was rather a more laborious than 
 profitable business, he al)andoned it and turned his atten- 
 tion to the law, which he studied under the late Judge 
 Rowan, then residing in Bardstown. After practicing some 
 time in that place, Mr. Guthrie, in 1820, moved to Louisville, 
 which was then a small town, with an appointment irom 
 the Governor of the State as Commonwealth's Attorney. 
 He has always been an iniense student. He opened a law 
 office and applied himself with untiring and sleepless dili- 
 gence to the study and practice of his j)rofession. 
 
 While young he formed the habit of rising early and 
 studying before breakfast, which habit he still keeps up, 
 doing more reading and study before that meal than most 
 men do in the twenty-four hours. In a short time his 
 practice increased to such an extent that he found it neces- 
 sary to give up his position as Commonwealth's Attorney. 
 He was for some time a partner of Judge Rovv'an, (under 
 whom he had studied law, and who had located in Louis- 
 ville,) and a close and intimate friend of that distinguished 
 man ; but it was while in partnership with the late Robert 
 Tyler that his reputation as a lawyer was the greatest. The 
 law firm of Guthrie & Tyler monopolized the better part 
 
36 
 
 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 of the practice of the city, and tiioii- fame spread far and 
 wide. 
 
 From the situation of Louisville ivlr. Gutlirie became 
 early convinced that it was destined to be, at no remote day, 
 a large and flourishing city, and, acting upon this belief, he 
 invested all his surplus funds in vacant lots in and around 
 the town, thus laying the foundation of his future wealth. 
 He took part, and generally tlie lead, in every public meas- 
 ure or enterprise that liad for its object the weliare and in- 
 terest of the citv. It was through' his exertiesns that the 
 fity obtained its niagnihcent court-house, which, for years i 
 l)etbre its completion, went under the name of " Gv'.Lhrie"s 
 Folly." I 
 
 He was mainly instrumental in (organizing, and Vf;\s 
 elected the hrst Pj-esident of, the Louisville and Frankfort 
 Railroad Company, which position he retained for a long 
 time, and during his administration of the business of tlie 
 Company the work was commenced and hnishetl. 
 
 He keenly appreciated the gr-eat advantages to be derived 
 by Louisville from tlie Jeiiersonville and Indianapolis 
 Railroad, of which Company he was and still is one of 
 the most energetic and influential directors, and he was 
 active in his exertions in its behalf. Rut he saw that to 
 secure the fruits of this road, and to still further benefit 
 the city, a road must be built south from Louisville, in 
 order to prevent the trade from being diverted to Cin- 
 cinnati. He therefore went to work with his accustomed 
 and characteristic energy to organize and put into work- 
 ing order the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com- 
 pany, of which he is the President. During the late 
 civil war he managed, by his energy and ability, to keep 
 the road out of the hands of the military and under 
 the control and direction of the Company; and, notwith- 
 standing portions of the road Avere often torn up and bridges 
 destroyed, to repair which was a great dr;iin upon the Com- 
 pany's resources, he has, by the co-operation of the able 
 Boai-d of Directors, increased the value of the stock from 
 ten cents on the dollar to sibovit par, bought the Branch 
 leading to P>ardstown, extended the Lebanon Branch as far 
 1 as Stanford, and by July will have it running to Crab i 
 Orchard. I 
 
 He has by Ids ccnnecti(;n with these roads, but more par- I 
 ticularly by liis mauiigement of the Louisville and Nash- ' 
 ville Railroad Company during the war, earned for himself 
 a truly enviable reputation as a nulroad man— a reputation I 
 second to that of iio one in the country. 
 
NASHVILLE EAILROAD. 37 
 
 He is also President of the Louisville and Portland Canal 
 Company, which work, when completed, will be an orna- 
 ment as well as a p;reat commercial advantage to the city. 
 
 Mr. Guthrie is President of the University of Louisville, 
 an institution which has been in existence tor many years, 
 containing a Medical and a Law Department, both of which 
 he was active in organizing. 
 
 Nor has Mr. Guthrie kept entirely aloof from politics. He 
 served time and again in the Legislature of Kentucky, first 
 as Rej^resentative and afterwards as Senator, and he always 
 wielded a powerful influence in that body. He was nearly 
 alwa3^s electt'd with a party majority opposed to him, but so 
 great was the confidence of the people in him that they 
 voted for him against the candidate of their own party. 
 During the greater portion of his term of service as a legis- 
 lator he was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. 
 
 In politics he has been a life-long Democrat, and has taken 
 a conspicuous part in all measures conducive to the interests 
 of the people. He v.-as active in having our admirable com- 
 mon-school system inaugurated. He was elected a delegate 
 to the Convention tliat framed the new Constitution of Ken- 
 tucky in 1847, and was chosen President of that body. 
 Time and again Mr. Guthrie's friends have urged him to 
 run for the office of Governor of the State and for Congress, 
 but he uniformly refused, kn<nving that it would interfere 
 with the practice of his profession. 
 
 When General Pierce was a candidate for the Presidency 
 ISIr. Guthrie took the stump and canvassed Ohio, Indiana, 
 and Illinois in his behalf, and, upon his election, General 
 Pearce, appreciating the vast service rendered him, and 
 knowing his reputation as a financier, tendered him a seat 
 in his Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasurj^-, which he ac- 
 cepted. He brought to bear in the administration of his 
 ofiice great energy, incorruptible integrity, and extraor- 
 dinary ability. No Secretary ever made himself so com- 
 plete "^a master of the minuti'as and details of the office, or 
 became so thoroughly acquainted with the financial and 
 commercial systems of the country. His great object was 
 to economize, and by his management he succeeded in pay- 
 ing olf the National debt and putting the financial afiairs of 
 the country in a condition to challenge the admiration of 
 the world. It made no difierence by wliom recommended, 
 no one could receive an appointment in his Department 
 without undergoing a thorough exanunation as to his quali- 
 fication for the office before a board appointed for that pur- 
 pose. In this way he secured the services of competent 
 
38 THE LOUISVILLE AND 
 
 clerks. His success was as great as his most sanguine 
 friends could hope for, aiM his reputation as a financier 
 spread throughout the world. 
 
 At the Charleston Democratic Convention he had numer- 
 ous and strong friends urging his claims to the nomination 
 for the Presidency, but, unfortunately for the country, there 
 was a disagreement there, which resulted in the election of 
 Mr. Lincoln and the subsequent secession of most of the 
 Southern States. 
 
 Mr. Guthrie was opposed to both secession and radicalism, 
 believing tliat tiie success of either Vv^ould be fatal to our 
 republican form of Goveniment, and destructive to tlie 
 liberties of the people. Entertaining these views he did all 
 in his power to effect a compromise between the North and 
 the South. With this objec^t in view he labored at the 
 Peace Convention that met in Washington City, and at the 
 Border Slave State Convention held at Frankfort. But all 
 these efforts were in vain. Throughout the length and 
 breadth of the land could be heard the preparations for 
 war, and soon fathers were arrayed against sons, relatives 
 against relatives, friends against friends, in deadly conflict, 
 and we were in the midst of a terrible civil war. 
 
 Mr. Guthrie took his stand in favor of the Union, and 
 during the contest acted with the conservative masses of 
 the people, who were in favor of suppressing the rel^ellion, 
 and at the same time protecting the Constitution against 
 the assaults and encroachments of the radicals. 
 
 He was a delegate to the Chicago Convention that nomi- 
 nated General McClellan for the Presidency, and was Chair- 
 man of the Committee on Resolutions. 
 
 In 1865 Mr. Guthrie was elected United States Senator 
 from Kentucky for the term of six years. 
 
 Mr. Guthi-ie's mind is eminently inductive and analytical, 
 and he takes the broadest and most comprehensive view of 
 every subject. His judgineut is strong and powerful, and 
 his impulses, prejudices, and temper are and ever have 
 been under the complete subjection and control of his rea- 
 son and judgment. 
 
 Mr. Guthrie is not what is called eloquent. He does not 
 deal in rhetoric, rounded periods, and flowers of speech, 
 that tickle the ear and captivate the fancy ; but his style is

 pied in ponderins over any subject he is very abstracted 
 'md apparently abrupt in his manner. Hence some have 
 fmaotned bim^to be aristocratic; but never Avas an idea 
 more erroneous. When his mind is free Irom business 
 c i?es and troubles, he is genial and social m his disposition 
 amrmannen No one has more devoted and attadied 
 fripnds, and no man will do more to assist a triend. As a 
 father he is kind and indul-ent, and his children almost 
 idolize him. He is charitable, but upon the subject of his 
 oliarities he seldom ever speaks. 
 
 As " lawver he watched over the interests of his clients as 
 faith fullV as he ^.id over his own; as a statesman he en- 
 deavored to legi-«late for the whole people and not for a class ; 
 an 1 a.s a citizen he set an example of uprightness, probity, 
 and obedience to law. The loss of no man would be so so- 
 verely^elt by the community as that of the Hon. James 
 
 ^ We must here close this brief and imperfect biography. 
 To do iustice to Mr. Guthrie we would have to give a his- 
 tory of Louisville and Kentucky for upwards ot l/^^f^ cen- 
 tury and a detailed account of the workings of the United 
 States Treasury Department for four years. 
 
 ALBERT FINK. 
 
 Mr Fink was born in Germany in 1827, and came to this 
 country in the spring of 1849, after the failure of the great 
 German Revolution of IMS. He had just then completed 
 his theoretical education as an Engineer and Architect at 
 the poly technical school at Darmstadt, where he had been 
 a student for five years. a ^ «^i.i r^v 
 
 Shortly after his arrival in this country, a fine field for 
 practical usefulness was opened to him on the Baltimore 
 and Ohio Railroad, under the tutorship of the first of Amer- 
 ican Engineers, Benjamin H. Latrobe. This celebrated 
 Engineer soon 'discovered the talents of Mr. Fink then 
 only 22 vears of age, and placed him in charge ot design- 
 ing and' constructing all the mechanical «trtK-tnres such as 
 bridges, depots, etc., on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, 
 which was theA being extended from Cumberland across 
 the mountains to Wheeling. It was on this gTcat road that 
 Mr Fink established his reputation as an Engineer and 
 Architect, a reputation which he has since so well sus- 
 
40 THE LOUiSVlLLS AND 
 
 tain^. The works by which he so jiistly €-ar«ed his fame 
 are well known to travelers, and we need not here say any 
 thing in their prais^e. We will merely recall the beautiful 
 iron briderc over th^ Menongaliela River, and the great 
 viaducts on th-e slopes of Chefit River, works which ai*e no 
 where surpassed for oripnality and boldness. 
 
 After the completion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 
 to Wheeling, in 1853, we find Mr. Fink engaged on the 
 Northwestern Branch of Ihe K. and O. Railroad as a princi- 
 pal Assistant Engineer. V/hil<3 here attending to the duties 
 as a Fi-eld Enginer^r, Mr. Fink beeame the Consulting En- 
 gineer of the Norfolk and Petersburg RaihT)ad Oomp?any, 
 for whom lie designed the magnitlcent bridges over the , 
 Elizabeth River at Norfolk. 
 
 In 1857, after the completion of the N. W. V. R. R., Mr. 
 Fink's services were engaged bj'' the Louisville and Nash- 
 ville Railroad Company, for whose interests he hi^s faith- 
 fully labored up to the present day<. During the tv/o first 
 years of his connection with the road, he was principally 
 occupied with the design and construction of the great 
 bridges along the line, of which we will only mention tiie 
 celebrated Green River Bridge. After the opening (not the 
 completion) of the road to Nashville, Mr. Fink continued in 
 the servi(^ as Chief Engineer and Superintendent of the 
 Machinery and Road Department. In this position he had 
 nii^sfc arduous duties to perform during the four years of 
 the war. The fate of our noble armies ollen depended upon 
 the successful operations of the Louisville and Nashville 
 Railroad, and no effort v»-as spared by the Confederates to 
 render useless this great line of communication. Rut the 
 rapidity with which the road, after each successive raid, 
 was rebuib artd put in order, baffled and surprised the en- 
 emy. It has l)een related to us that Mr. Fink, on meeting 
 General Duke,— who is said to have been tjie controlling 
 mind of the ^Nlorgan raids on the L. and N. R, R., — coni- 
 plained to him about the manner in which they had kept 
 him constantly in trouble for years past, when the General 
 rejoined that they had equal grounds of complaint, inas- 
 much as they had often experienced the same fact, when, in 
 their opinion, they had rendered the railroad useless for at 
 least six n^onths, ihey found it in full ojxro.tion again by 
 the time they had reached the points whence they had 
 sla:;{ed. 
 
 At Mr. Guthrie's retirement from the active management 
 of the Louisville and Nashvilbc' Railroad at the opening of 
 the present Congress, Mr. Fink was appointed General 
 
NASHVILLE RAILROAD. 41 
 
 Superintendent of the road, a position which, perhaps, f2W 
 men are better qualified to fill. With a thorough theoret- 
 ical education, ho combine^ practical experieuco in every 
 branch of the profession, from the laying out of a road to 
 the construction of a locomotive. Acquainted v/ith the 
 minutest details of Engineering and constructing railroads, 
 and having been for years connected with their manage- 
 ment, Mr. Fink is pre-eminently qualified to stand at the 
 head of one of the leading roads in the country.
