Thomas Jefferson on the Ohio River

Posted on 10:17 PM by
I just came across this on the Kentucky Tourism website. Our family will be taking a road trip this summer that follows the Ohio River and Thomas Jefferson's quote has made me feel like we picked a beautiful route.
In his Notes on the State of Virginia published in 1781-82, Thomas Jefferson stated: "The Ohio is the most beautiful river on earth. Its current gentle, waters clear, and bosom smooth and unbroken by rocks and rapids, a single instance only excepted."
