Limestone in Pulaski County
Limestone and Blue Grass Country
The land in Pulaski County is an area of about 400 square miles whose lands are almost entirely that of a limestone foundation. The limestone is situated upon the same vein that flows from Niagara Falls and runs through Pennsylvania and the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
It is said that the region has rich farmland and the finest bluegrass and is the World's best land for fattening beef cattle. The county was named for the Polish County Pulaski of Revolutionary War fame.
The law was known to be kept in Pulaski County when gentlemen met on the court green to settle their differences. The first session of the court heard seven criminal cases, all declared "not guilty."
The aphorism, "Happy is that people whose annals are brief," applies with peculiar force to this part of the country where its first residents were said to have lived quiet, frugal, industrious, and God-fearing lives.
