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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kentucky in the Nation's History As this volume represents a conscious departure from the customary method of dealing with State history, a word of explanation, as to my object, is necessary. The real aim of the study of State history, as I conceive it, should be to add to our knowledge of the nation, as the day for the cultivation of a purely local patriotism - if, indeed, that day ever existed - has passed forever. To write of the history of a State as though it were something apart from the nation is not only to violate the "unity of history," but also to deprive the nation of a valuable source of information concerning national events. In making historical investigations, from time to time, I have been impressed by the fact that much material, bearing upon the nations history, lies buried in local archives and private collections. For the student of purely local history, most of this material is of little value, relating, as it does, to distinctly national questions, while, to the national historian, it is inaccessible, it being obviously impossible for the investigator, in such broad fields, to delve very deeply into local treasuries. 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 particularly affected local conditions, have been my concern.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Kentucky, Vol. 1 of 5 The present work is the result of consultation and cooperation. Those engaged in its composition have had but one purpose, and that was to give to the people of Kentucky a social and political account of their state. Based on contemporaneous history, as nearly as the accomplishment of such an undertaking were possible. It has not been the purpose of those who have labored in concert to follow any line of precedent. While omitting no important event in the history of the state, there has been a decided inclination to rather stress those events that have not hitherto engaged the attention of other writers and historians, than to indulge in a mere repetition of that which is common knowledge. How far they have succeeded in this purpose a critical public must determine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Kentucky In the preparation of this book, an attempt has been made to relate the events of practical, everyday life, in such a manner as to make the study of the history of our State a pleasure to the pupil. While adhering to facts as closely as they could be ascertained, the aim has been that the whole shall entertain as a connected story. Special effort has been made to portray the spirit of the Kenluckians, in order that the student may understand and revere the people from whom he is sprung. To this end, more space has been given to their characteristics as indicated by tales of particular acts, than to the statistics of battles in which they have taken part. As this is a narration of the life of a State, and as the connection of one incident with another is of more importance in a work of this kind than the grouping of kindred topics, the chronological order of development has been followed. The subject naturally divides itself into five clearly marked periods. And these lend themselves readily to important subdivisions. That portion of the history which extends to the close of the War of 1812 belongs to the poetic stage in the States life; and that which follows, to the prose stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kentucky History Discovery. Since De Soto proceeded no farther north than Memphis, the region later to become Kentucky was not discovered until after 1650. The vain search for a river which would lead across to the Pacific brought the European discoverers to Ken tucky. First among these was the Frenchman, La Salle, in 1669, who, lured on by Indian reports, descended the Allegheny and passed down the Ohio from the Big Sandy to the Falls (louis ville). Two years later a representative of England, Captain Batts, who probably entered eastern Kentucky, was sent out by Governor Berkeley of Virginia. Explorations. After the mere discovery there was a lull of a half century; then there began another period of visits which served to arouse interest in the West and a desire to forestall the French in its occupation. Following up this desire, land com panies were soon organized in Virginia: the Loyal Company in 1749 sent out an expedition under Dr. Thomas Walker through Cumberland Gap to the Cumberland River near Barboursville; but this expedition failed and the men returned. In 17 50 the Ohio Company sent out an expedition under Christopher Gist, which explored extensively north of the Ohio and then descended the Ohio from the mouth of the Scioto to Within fifteen miles of the Falls; here fear of Indians turned the men back to the Kentucky, up which they proceeded to the Yadkin and home. Reports of French encroachments given by Gist to Governor Dinwiddie, led to the dispatch of Washington and Gist to de mand their withdrawal and opened the French and Indian War, by which France lost her footing in America. Nature and Name. The Kentucky Visited by these pioneers and described by Walker and Gist was of gorgeous beauty, re markable fertility, and abundance of forest animals a vast and lonely wilderness with no signs of former habitation save scattered mounds built either by highly civilized Indians or by an exterminated race of whites. It was uninhabited by Indians. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Kentucky, Vol. 3 of 5 About this time, 1823, they lost a lovely young daughter, Lucretia, and Mrs. Clay remained at Ash land until 1825, when her husband accepted the posi tion of Secretary of State under John Quincy Adams. During this administration her life was saddened by the death of two daughters, a young girl of twelve, who died on her way to Washington, and a married daughter of twenty, who died of yellow fever in New Orleans. Nevertheless, the weekly levees were held alternately at the President's and Mrs. Clay's. Under the burden of her sorrows and of her trying social duties as the wife of the Secretary of State, her health gave way, but she continued to accompany Mr. Clay to Washington and was with him there every year until 1835, with the exception of 1829 and 1830, when he was out of public life and at Ashland.
