Harland sanders is born in Henryville, Indiana.Some say his first word was ‘chicken’ but it was more likely‘ma’ or ‘pa’.Until they crack time travel we will never really know for sure.
1920-1930
no university for Harland:
It wasn’t that kind of world anyway.instead, he lived a life of country song, working his way round the southern states as steamboat pilot, railroad fireman and a farmer.He may have owned a hound dog but he definately a taste for southern style chicken.
In 1930 at the age of 40
He buys a roadside motel and café in Corbin, Kentucky. Always an avid cook he puts his talents to use and starts to serve his take on southern fried chicken to the public.But what about his unique blend of 11 herbs and spices? For now its just a thought…..

THE YEAR 1935
The resturant is doing well.So well that State Governor, Ruby Laffoon commissions Harland as ' 'Kentucky Colonel ' ' for outstanding achievement in the community. So the Colonel really was a colonel.
THE YEAR 1939
Finally,herald perfects his blend of 11 herbs and species.We can 't say what they are, it 's top secet. Only a handful of people have ever nown the full recipe. Some believe his group included Evel knevel, the rock band KISS and Dolly prton. Sorry, not true.They all asked, but we held our tongues.
Disaster strikes:Interstate 75 opens up and sucks away trade.The restaurant closes and at 65 harald has to start again from scratch.
