Excerpt from The Resources and Needs of Edmonson County, Kentucky It may be as well to state in the outset that the writer of this brief summary of the advantages and disadvantages of Edmonson County as a home and a place for the profitable investment of capital does not own an acre of the lands he attempts to describe. His only inter est in the material advancement and the development of the resources of his native county is that common to all her sons - a desire to see his birth-place take its position by the side of those counties whose mineral resources have already been developed. If we were seeking an influx of immigration, without regard to consequences, we might be induced to give only the bright side of the picture, and to deal mostly in glittering generalities; but while we invite the honest, energetic immigrant to come and make his home among us, this pamphlet will not only call the attention of capitalists and laborers to the many advantages which this county offers for pay ing investments and pleasant homes, but will also strive to point out the needs of our people in a concise manner.

In the early 1900's Kentucky Rock Asphalt Company opened a facility in Western Kentucky near Brownsville with quarries and an elaborate rock asphalt processing facility that produced an excellent asphalt paving material widely sold for the increasingly popular road paving industry. What resulted was a place called Kyrock where thousands came to live and work for the company. Information has been compiled about the company, the area, the people and their way of life. There are first-hand accounts from former workers and residents and numerous photos of the plant operations, quarries, school, church, communities and people. Many articles and papers were consulted to get as much information as possible so that this important part of local history could be preserved in a single book. The book describes and shows in hundreds of photos how the company was built and how the hard working people made the company a success while overcoming tremendous obstacles. Read about how the people overcame the difficult circumstances with the help of a strong leader and how great success can sometimes suddenly come to an abrupt end.
