The buffalo and other large animals showed the way, leaving broken paths through the wilderness that led to the salt licks like the spokes of a wheel to its hub. Salt was a necessity for preserving the game they killed, and for other uses as well. Following these seekers of salt were others seeking homesteads, or lands for investment. The county was formed in 1797 with its county seat at Shepherdsville on the banks of Salt River. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book we take you from those early times though the rise and demise of an iron industry, the opening of new towns, following its history that included a mineral water spa, and the coming of the Louisville \u0026amp; Nashville Railroad.
