Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carry A. NationRetelling the Life Fran Grace The story of one of America's most notorious and misunderstood women. Carry Nation was 54 when she "smashed" her first saloon, but her life before she started her infamous hatchet crusade has been little known until now. In this first scholarly biography of Nation, Fran Grace unfolds a story that often contrasts with the image of Nation as "Crazy Carry," a bellicose, blue-nosed, man-hating killjoy. Using newly available archival materials and placing Nation in her various historical and cultural contexts, Grace "retells" the crusader's tumultuous life. Brought up in antebellum Kentucky, Nation lived through the devastation of the Civil War and endured a failed marriage to an alcoholic physician. In her early 20s, a single mother and a destitute widow, she experienced a spiritual crisis. Her second marriage, to a much-older David Nation, grew strained under the failure of their Texas farm, her exploration into Holiness religion, and her attempts to work outside the home. When the couple moved to Kansas, Nation's disappointments translated into an agenda for social reform. Frustrated by the rampant violations of the state's prohibition law and empowered by a sense of divine mission, Nation responded with rocks, crowbars, and hatchets. Though much of her last two decades was spent on stage or in jail and in battles with other family members over the future of her unstable adult daughter, she edited two newspapers and founded several homes for abused and needy women. This complexly woven and delightfully written biography adds depth to the popular image of Carry Nation, situating her at the center of major cultural currents in her time.

Book excerpt: Established in 1847 in Midway, Kentucky, the Kentucky Female Orphan School with the quaint and archaic sounding name is today Midway University. The story of Midway University cannot be understood apart from Dr. L. L. Pinkerton. The doctor's historical importance greatly transcends the early days of the school. Constrained by the circumstances of frontier Kentucky, he nonetheless was a renaissance man, gifted with a penetrating intellect and possessing a prophetic moral heart. Yet Dr. Pinkerton ultimately paid the terrible price of hostile rejection by his church, many of his friends and colleagues. Why? And how was the early success of Morehead State University related to the Kentucky Female Orphan School? What story is behind the largest single legacy the school ever received from a man with an unsavory reputation and who had, in all probability, never set foot on the campus? What secularizing forces were at work that makes the institution today seem so less religious in orientation than it was just forty years ago?This book answers these questions and provides a comprehensive understanding of how, why, and what Midway University is today.

Book excerpt: 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 repetitionot that which is common knowledge. How far they have succeded in this purpose a critical public must determine.
