Book excerpt: Muhlenberg County has been famous for its record-setting coal production since 1890. But as the county grew and the coal piled higher, another kind of energy began to flow from the depths of the mines. Songs like "Sixteen Tons" and "Paradise" spotlighted the lives of the bent and bowed coal miners and put the county on the map. With the addition of the world's largest power plant and the world's largest coal shovel, tourism increased as visitors came to see the hometowns of the famous Everly Brothers, James Best, Warren Oates, and Merle Travis. The Duncan Cultural Center and Museum, a gift from Hamilton Duncan, is a beautiful gathering place where people today can enjoy music and art and learn about Muhlenberg's coal legacy and rich history.

Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Louisville written by John E. Kleber and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 1029 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 1,800 entries, The Encyclopedia of Louisville is the ultimate reference for Kentucky's largest city. For more than 125 years, the world's attention has turned to Louisville for the annual running of the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. Louisville Slugger bats still reign supreme in major league baseball. The city was also the birthplace of the famed Hot Brown and Benedictine spread, and the cheeseburger made its debut at Kaelin's Restaurant on Newburg Road in 1934. The "Happy Birthday" had its origins in the Louisville kindergarten class of sisters Mildred Jane Hill and Patty Smith Hill. Named for King Louis XVI of France in appreciation for his assistance during the Revolutionary War, Louisville was founded by George Rogers Clark in 1778. The city has been home to a number of men and women who changed the face of American history. President Zachary Taylor was reared in surrounding Jefferson County, and two U.S. Supreme Court Justices were from the city proper. Second Lt. F. Scott Fitzgerald, stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor during World War I, frequented the bar in the famous Seelbach Hotel, immortalized in The Great Gatsby. Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville and won six Golden Gloves tournaments in Kentucky.

Download or read book Across the Kentucky Color Line Cultural Landscapes of Race from the Lost Cause to Integration written by Lee Durham Stone and published by Lee Durham Stone. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sweeping history of racial interaction and violence from the post-Civil War to school integration in the 1960s, Lee Durham Stone, Ph.D., reframes the "idea of Kentucky." Through this searing lens, Dr. Stone shows how the institutional violence of enslavery rippled through each subsequent era in the Bluegrass State. Examined herein are a trial and "legal lynching" in 1907, the secretive Possum Hunters of 1914-1916 who terrorized the Western Kentucky coalfields, Jim Crow education, the strange case of a physician who drank poison before entering the courtroom (he died), the examination of small-town spatial segregation, and the local resistance to school integration in 1963. There is more, too, including Black businesses and African Americans in coal mining. This book cites all its sources, so it would be useful for students and other researchers.
