HISTORY OF KENTUCKY
It has not been possible, in compiling the foregoing list, to obtain all the names, or even a satisfactory list of the killed and wounded in the Confederate army, either among commissioned officers or privates, from 1861-65. Records of such statistics are not easily, if at all attainable, and this interesting feature, so far as regards Confederate officers and sol- diers, has been reluctantly omitted.

CHAPTER LXXVII
THE ROMANCE OF TOBACCO AND ITS EARLY INTRODUC- TION IN KENTUCKY
[This chapter and the chapter following were written by Samuel H. Halley, of Lexington, one of the largest growers and warehousemen of the state. No man in Kentucky has studied the subject of growing and marketing tobacco closer than has he, and no one has a more intelligent knowledge of the subject. As a scholar and student he has familiarized himself with the influence tobacco has had on the country, and especially Kentucky, from the earliest times. The short history which follows is so nearly a repetition of the troubles that have beset Kentucky growers that a reminder of the perplexities which the colonists had to endure will be of material interest to the present day growers. No economic sub- ject of produce has influenced the growth and development of Kentucky more than tobacco, and for that reason the valuable information which Doctor Halley has acquired will be a distinct addition to Kentucky his- tory .- EDITOR'S NOTE. ]
Writing in 1856, Dr. David Dale Owen, the eminent pioneer geologist of Kentucky, used these words :
"The citizens of Kentucky are preeminently an agricultural people. In the Eastern and Northern States, the wealth, influence, and intelligence of the population are, in a great measure, concentrated in cities, towns and villages. Not so in Kentucky; the substantial patriarchal farmer forms by far the larger and most influential part of the Commonwealth. All, therefore, that relates to the cultivation of the soil is of very general interest." 1
What has come to be a world staple has a romantic side that reads more like fiction than history.
When Europeans first came to North, Central, and South America and to the West Indies, they found the natives using tobacco in various ways. It was in the month of November, 1492, that the sailors of Columbus, in exploring the island of Cuba, first noted the mode of using tobacco. They found the aborigines carrying what to the Spaniards ap- peared to be lighted firebrands, and saw with astonishment that they puffed the smoke inhaled from their mouths and nostrils. It was not long thereafter until Columbus and his companions discovered that the supposed "firebrands" were made of the dried leaves of a plant which grew in luxuriance not only in the soil of the West Indian Islands, but also on the mainland. This plant the Indians called tobacco, but both the plant and its use were new to the Spanish discoverers. To the aborigines it was ever significant of hospitality and good will, and meant more than the mere pleasure derived from the smoking or chewing. With the pipe was associated a number of the sacred ceremonies of the tribe, and the simple natives believed that its odor was a fragrance that gave delight to and propitiated the favor of the Great Spirit. The red man sprinkled tobacco on his fish nets to make them more fortunate in the cast. He believed that powdered tobacco thrown in the air, or
