The Song of Lancaster, Kentucky / To the statesmen, soldiers, and citizens of Garrard County.
TO THE STATESMEN, SOLDIERS, AND CITIZENS OF GARRARD COUNTY.

The writer of the following little history has presumed to borrow the peculiar style of versification from Longfellow’s celebrated Song of Hiawatha.
She has carefully examined the records within reach for the facts of her story. Should important omissions occur, it will be due to the meagerness of existing evidence.
May events so dear to hearts now at rest forever, be perpetuated in the memory of the present generation.
EUGENIA D. POTTS.
Lancaster, May, 1874.
Hear a song of ancient story,
Of a city on a hillside,
Of the valleys all about it,
