Book description
" The first comprehensive history of the state since the
publication of Thomas D. Clark's landmark History of Kentucky over
sixty years ago. A New History of Kentucky brings the Commonwealth to
life, from Pikeville to the Purchase, from Covington to Corbin, this
account reveals Kentucky's many faces and deep traditions. Lowell
Harrison, professor emeritus of history at Western Kentucky
University, is the author of many books, including George Rogers Clark
and the War in the West, The Civil War in Kentucky, Kentucky's Road to
Statehood, Lincoln of Kentucky, and Kentucky's Governors.
""The authors pay much attention to detail without
overwhelming their readers in minutiae. They invite one to experience
and appreciate the Commonwealth and share their passion for its
history. The honest, clear accounts describe a story that is rich, and
brilliant, as well as sinister."" -- Northern Kentucky Heritage
