CHRONICLES OF CYNTHIANA OTHER CHRONICLES. CHAPTER I. OLD CITIZENS, ETC. Nestled among the fertile hills of Harrison county, Kentucky, is the little city of Cynthiana. Hither came actors, a hundred years ago, to "Fret their little hour upon the stage, And then be seen no more." Few stones remain to mark the place where they played their last act--when death extinguished the footlights, and the weary actors crossed from Time to Eternity. If Abram Crossdale, who died and was buried in the old cemetery, in 1812, could rise from the dead and sit on his moss-grown tombstone, how would he be surprised to see the cars thunder past his restingplace! And if he might interrogate " Young America" (he would n't be afraid of the " Old Ghost," not he), he might learn that since he fell asleep, eighty years ago, steamboats and steamships have been made to sail all the rivers and seas, and that they and steam cars had brought all the wonders of once unknown lands to our very doors; that a man in Cynthiana can reprove, by word of mouth, his son who is in Cincinnati; that a woman can scold her husband, through the telephone, from Boston to New York! And, equally strange, that telegraph wires belt the globe, and that by lightning we send messages to the uttermost parts of the earth. He may learn also that we still mourn for "The touch of a vanished hand, But not for the sound of a voice that is still;" For Edison has invented a machine to catch and hold for ages the sweet low, voice of woman or the stirring tones of man's eloquence--that once uttered in times past were lost forever. And that dear to the human heart as any discovery of any age is the one made by Daguerre, who used the sunbeams as pencils with which to draw a perfect likeness of the human...

Book excerpt: Since Cynthiana's founding along the South Fork of the Licking River in the late 1700s, its residents have exemplified the pioneering spirit befitting the "Maiden City" of Harrison County. This county seat claims an exciting spot in Central Kentucky history and a colorful time line dotted by events, including two Civil War battles, the city's early growth as an agricultural and marketing center, and later, its role as the industrial heart of the county. From schools and sports to large and small businesses, from houses of faith to family farms, Images of America: Cynthiana turns the page on time to capture history through the photographic memories of residents who cherished community.

Book excerpt: In the preparation of the present volume, I have studied the local collections from the point of view of one primarily interested in the nation. Such local events as have had a distinctly national influence, as well as such national events as have particulary affected local conditions, have been my concern. A typical example of the first is presented in the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, and, of the second, in the purchase of Louisiana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jews and Christians alike have made Psalm 91 one of the most commonly used and cited parts of the Bible. The psalm has shaped theories of politics and government, not to mention influencing medicine and mysticism. In different ages, the psalm has borne many different names: the Song of Evil Spirits, the Soldier's Psalm, and most concisely, the Protection Psalm. As the Song of Plagues, it has gained a whole new relevance in an age of global pandemic. In the New Testament, Satan himself quotes the psalm, and ever since, that text has both reflected and shaped changing concepts of evil and the demonic. It was and still is used for magical and superstitious purposes, including for exorcism and demon-fighting. As perils and threats have changed and evolved in various societies, so interpretations of Psalm 91 have developed to accommodate each new reality. A biography of Psalm 91 is also a history of critical themes in Western religion"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first biography of “one of Kentucky’s best Confederates . . . [who] became a good citizen working for reconciliation between North and South.”—The Post and Courier After practicing law for several years in St. Louis, Basil Wilson Duke (1838-1916) enlisted in the Confederate army in 1861 and was elected first lieutenant of John Hunt Morgan’s legendary cavalry unit. As second in command, he was, Morgan recorded, “wise in counsel, gallant in the field,” and always “the right man in the right place.” Duke was twice wounded in battle and was captured during Morgan’s Great Raid and held prisoner for over a year. When Morgan, who was also Duke’s brother-in-law, was killed in 1864, Duke was promoted to brigadier general and appointed commander of Morgan’s men. Moving to join forces with those of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston’s army in North Carolina, he was assigned to the force escorting Jefferson Davis in his retreat from Richmond at the close of the war. Basil Wilson Duke, CSA, the definitive biography of this important but often overlooked figure in Civil War history, establishes that Duke was in fact the brilliant tactician behind much of the success of Morgan’s cavalry. Author Gary Robert Matthews not only offers an in-depth study of Duke’s celebrated Civil War exploits but also traces his varied postwar literary, legal, and political careers. “Fascinating . . . a vividly written story about a modest Southern gentleman in which the reader may come to his own conclusion that Basil W. Duke was the power behind Morgan’s so-called military genius.”—Edison H. Thomas, author of John Hunt Morgan and His Raiders
