I passed by this sign in Kuttawa, Ky., April 17, 2021 and it confirmed a story I had heard decades ago from a man in Carlisle, TN.” The Bessemer Process was invented/discovered in our area.”
Read the sign inscription below:
KUTAWA, KY — Here Wiliam Kellly (1811-1888) discovered a steel making method later known as the ‘Bessemer Process’ which made it possible for civilization to pass from the ‘Iron Age’ to the ‘Steel Age.’ ~ Kentucky Department of Highways
