This early-1900s promotional booklet, published by the Louisville Convention and Publicity League, captures the city at the dawn of the 20th century — proud of its industry, culture, and Southern-hospitality reputation, and eager to sell itself to visitors and investors alike.
Now in the public domain, this facsimile reprint preserves the original text and period photographs, offering historians and genealogists a rare window into how Louisville marketed itself as a booming, forward-looking American city.
