Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Commonwealth of Kentucky The first and most important inquiry respecting any history of social trans actions is, its impartial truth. In order to answer this question, two others pre sent themselves for examination. First, what have been the opportunities of accurate information enjoyed by the and secondly, how faithfully has ire availed himself of his opportunities? The latter enquiry must be left to every reader; the author's protestations neither shall, nor ought to interfere with the answer. To the former, he will answer most unreservedly. The author has been no inattentive observer of public events in Kentucky, from his migration to the State in 1806; nor has he been destitute of intercourse with public characters. His curiosity, he may add, his heart, was early eh gaged in the story of Kentucky heroism, hardship, and enterprise. Nor during twenty eight years' residence in the bosom of the State, has he felt his interest lessen in the fame and the fortunes of his adopted commonwealth. Still the au thor places the claims of his history to the public attention on a basis higher, than any personal intercourse he may have enjoyed, at the late period of his removal to the west. It is on a body of private papers belonging to some of the princi pal actors in Kentucky history. These have come into his possession from numerous sources in the most cheering and friendly manner. In the first place are the papers of Gen. George Rogers Clark; these contain a memoir by the great western hero, of his public services, from 1775 to 1779. These periods embrace the most interesting epochs; the papers also include an interesting correspondence with Patrick Henry and Jefferson, the early and distinguished Governors of Virginia, as with many military officers in the western country. These documents are now, after more than the lapse of half a cen tury, for the first time submitted to the public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Petitions of the Early Inhabitants of Kentucky: To the General Assembly of Virginia 1969 to 1792 The petitions are printed verbatim, with the thought that they will be more useful and interesting to the student of history in the language of the pioneer inhabitants of our first Commonwealth west of the Alleghany Mountains. The editor has added foot-notes which may help to explain the purpose, the subject-matter, and the effect of the various petitions. The names attached to the petitions have been separated from them and arranged in alphabetical order, with num bers referring to the petitions on which they appear. This saves considerable space, as many of the names are signed to two or more petitions. It also makes reference to them more easy.

Download or read book A New History of Kentucky written by James C. Klotter and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When originally published, A New History of Kentucky provided a comprehensive study of the Commonwealth, bringing it to life by revealing the many faces, deep traditions, and historical milestones of the state. With new discoveries and findings, the narrative continues to evolve, and so does the telling of Kentucky's rich history. In this second edition, authors James C. Klotter and Craig Thompson Friend provide significantly revised content with updated material on gender politics, African American history, and cultural history. This wide-ranging volume includes a full overview of the state and its economic, educational, environmental, racial, and religious histories. At its essence, Kentucky's story is about its people -- not just the notable and prominent figures but also lesser-known and sometimes overlooked personalities. The human spirit unfolds through the lives of individuals such as Shawnee peace chief Nonhelema Hokolesqua and suffrage leader Madge Breckinridge, early land promoter John Filson, author Wendell Berry, and Iwo Jima flag--raiser Private Franklin Sousley. They lived on a landscape defined by its topography as much as its political boundaries, from Appalachia in the east to the Jackson Purchase in the west, and from the Walker Line that forms the Commonwealth's southern boundary to the Ohio River that shapes its northern boundary. Along the journey are traces of Kentucky's past -- its literary and musical traditions, its state-level and national political leadership, and its basketball and bourbon. Yet this volume also faces forthrightly the Commonwealth's blemishes -- the displacement of Native Americans, African American enslavement, the legacy of violence, and failures to address poverty and poor health. A New History of Kentucky ranges throughout all parts of the Commonwealth to explore its special meaning to those who have called it home. It is a broadly interpretive, all-encompassing narrative that tells Kentucky's complex, extensive, and ever-changing story.

From harper's and 7716 Century magazines represent work done at intervals dur ing the period that the author was writing the tales al ready published under the title of Flute and Violin. It was his plan that with each descriptive article should go a short story dealing with the same subject, and this plan was in part wrought out. Thus, with the article em titled Uncle Tom at Home goes the tale entitled Two Gentlemen of Kentucky; and with the article entitled A Home of the Silent Brotherhood goes the tale en titled The White Cowl. In the same way, there were to be short stories severally dealing with the other subjects embraced in this volume. But having in part wrought out this plan, the author has let it rest - not finally, perhaps, but because in the mean time he has found himself en gaged with other themes.

Sketches of History, Life, and Manners in the West. By James Hall. In Two Volumes. Philadelphia; Harrison Hall, 62 Walnut Street. 1835. Two works on the important subject of Western History. Both of them are valuable, and we hail them as useful additions to the scanty library which contains our historical records. They are useful, however, in different ways. Mr. Butler's work contains the fruit of much patient research among family records, and public and domestic archives; and is a storehouse of facts and documents, far the most complete which has yet been given us upon western annals. It is the most thorough book on the subject. It is, what it professes to be, a history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
