The spirits of native sons Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Boone, and Henry Clay are still present in many aspects of modern-day Kentucky. Known for such traditions as mountain music, mint juleps, and the Derby, Kentucky's rich heritage has not faded over time. Although the bluegrass is blue only for a short time in the spring, and few self-respecting Kentuckians will dilute a good bourbon with sugar and mint leaves, Kentucky has not sought to distance itself from its history. To many, this is still the land where Lincoln was born, where Zachary Taylor spent his youth, and where Harriet Beecher Stowe witnessed the auctioning of slaves and found the inspiration to write Uncle Tom's Cabin. Such pioneers and visionaries continue to be revered today perhaps more so in Kentucky than anywhere else. The state itself has been assured immortality through the words of Stephen Foster's song, "My Old Kentucky Home."
