Download or read book Thomas D Clark of Kentucky written by John E. Kleber and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the flip of a coin, Thomas Dionysius Clark became intertwined in the vast history of Kentucky. In 1928, Clark received scholarships to both the University of Cincinnati and to the University of Kentucky. Kentucky won the coin toss and the claim to one of the South's eminent historians. In 1990, when the Kentucky General Assembly honored Clark by declaring him Kentucky's Historian Laureate for life, Governor Brereton Jones described Clark as "Kentucky's greatest treasure." Historian, advocate, educator, preservationist, publisher, writer, mentor, friend, Kentuckian—Dr. Clark has filled all these roles and more. Thomas D. Clark of Kentucky is a celebration of his life and careerby just a few of those who have felt his influence and shared his enthusiasm for his adopted home state of Kentucky.
Download or read book My Century in History written by Thomas D. Clark and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2006-08-04 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Thomas D. Clark was hired to teach history at the University of Kentucky in 1931, he began a career that would span nearly three-quarters of a century and would profoundly change not only the history department and the university but the entire Commonwealth. His still-definitive History of Kentucky (1937) was one of more than thirty books he would write or edit that dealt with Kentucky, the South, and the American frontier. In addition to his wide scholarly contributions, Clark devoted his life to the preservation of Kentucky's historical records. He began this crusade by collecting vast stores of Kentucky's military records from the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Civil War. His efforts resulted in the Commonwealth's first archival system and the subsequent creation of the Kentucky Library and Archives, the University of Kentucky Special Collections and Archives, the Kentucky Oral History Commission, the Kentucky History Center (recently named for him), and the University Press of Kentucky. Born in 1903 on a cotton farm in Louisville, Mississippi, Thomas Dionysius Clark would follow a long and winding path to find his life's passion in the study of history. He dropped out of school after seventh grade to work first at a sawmill and then on a canal dredgeboat before resuming his formal education. Clark's earliest memories—hearing about local lynch-mob violence and witnessing the destruction of virgin forest—are an invaluable window into the national issues of racial injustice and environmental depredation. In many ways, the story of Dr. Clark's life is the story of America in the twentieth century. In My Century in History, Clark offers vivid memories of his journey, both personal and academic, a journey that took him from Mississippi to Kentucky and North Carolina, to leadership of the nation's major historical organizations, and to visiting professorships in Austria, England, Greece, and India, as well as in universities throughout the United States. An enormously popular public lecturer and teacher, he touched thousands of lives in Kentucky and around the world. With his characteristic wit and insight, Clark now offers his many admirers one final volume of history—his own.

Download or read book The Winning of the West A History of the American Frontiers written by Theodore Roosevelt and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-17 with total page 915 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Winning of the West: A History of the American Frontiers by Theodore Roosevelt is a compelling and comprehensive account of the expansion of the American frontier during the 18th and 19th centuries. Roosevelt adeptly intertwines historical facts with his own perspective on the significance of westward expansion, shaping the narrative into a vivid and engaging read. His writing style is both informative and engaging, making this book a valuable resource for those interested in American history. With detailed accounts of key events such as the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition, Roosevelt captures the essence of the frontier experience. Theodore Roosevelt, a former President of the United States, was deeply passionate about American history and the concept of Manifest Destiny. His firsthand knowledge of political and military affairs, as well as his love for the great outdoors, greatly influenced the writing of The Winning of the West. Through this book, Roosevelt aimed to educate and inspire readers about the pioneering spirit that shaped the nation. I highly recommend The Winning of the West to anyone interested in exploring the history of the American frontier in a well-researched and captivating manner. Theodore Roosevelt's authoritative voice and nuanced storytelling make this book a must-read for history buffs and enthusiasts of American literature.
Download or read book Anatomy of a Duel written by Stuart W. Sanders and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the popular musical Hamilton showcased the celebrated duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, it reminded twenty-first-century Americans that some honor-bound citizens once used negotiated, formal fights as a way to settle differences. During the Civil War, two prominent Kentuckians—one a Union colonel and the other a pro-Confederate civilian—continued this legacy by dueling. At a time when thousands of soldiers were slaughtering one another on battlefields, Colonel Leonidas Metcalfe and William T. Casto transformed the bank of the Ohio River into their own personal battleground. On May 8, 1862, these two men, both of whom were steeped in Southern honor culture, fought a formal duel with rifles at sixty yards. And, as in the fight between Hamilton and Burr, only one man walked away. Anatomy of a Duel: Secession, Civil War, and the Evolution of Kentucky Violence examines why white male Kentuckians engaged in the "honor culture" of duels and provides fascinating narratives that trace the lives of duelists. Stuart W. Sanders explores why, during a time when Americans were killing one another in open, brutal warfare, Casto and Metcalfe engaged in the process of negotiating and fighting a duel. In deconstructing the event, Sanders details why these distinguished Kentuckians found themselves on the dueling ground during the nation's bloodiest conflict, how society and the Civil War pushed them to fight, why duels continued to be fought in Kentucky even after this violent confrontation, and how Kentuckians applied violence after the Civil War. Anatomy of a Duel is a comprehensive and compelling look at how the secession crisis sparked the Casto-Metcalfe duel—a confrontation that impacted the evolution of violence in Kentucky.
