Spring 1778
Genesis: Clark and Corn Island, 1778-1779
A question of titles, clouded and otherwise
Settling in
The river that made Louisville a town
The steamboat that made Louisville a city
The smile of wealth
Glorious years, bloody years
The Civil War: Louisville's bad dream turns real
A mania for manufacturing
A solid Victorian city
A city in search of the Twentieth Century
"To hell with the Hapsburgs and the Hohenzollerns"
The 1920s: everything seemed possible
What happened to prosperity?
World War II: an industrial revolution
Changing of the guard
Louisville at age 200.
