Samuel Francis Smith Quote. â 1 From every mountain side Let Freedom ring.â. â 2 My country, 't is of thee, â 3 Our fathers' God, to thee, â My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing: Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From every mountain-side Let freedom ring.â.
Historical Marker #1102 in Bardstown notes the location of Federal Hill, better known as My Old Kentucky Home.. This Kentucky landmark was the estate of Judge John Rowan and reputedly served as the inspiration for Stephen Foster's minstrel song of the same name. Foster likely wrote My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night in 1852, which was published early the next year. Significantly, the same time that Foster wrote the song, the novel Uncle Tomâs Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe was published and became an immediate transatlantic bestseller.
