Download or read book Stories of Old Kentucky Classic Reprint written by Martha Grassham Purcell and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Old Kentucky To be easily assimilated, our mental food, like our physical food, should be carefully chosen and attractively served. The history of the "Dark and Bloody Ground" teems with adventure and patriotism. Its pages are filled with the great achievements, the heroic deeds, and the inspiring examples of the explorers, the settlers, and the founders of our state. In the belief that a knowledge of their struggles and conquests is food that is both instructive and inspiring, and with a knowledge that a text on history does not always attract, the author sets before the youth of Kentucky these stories of some of her great men. This book is intended as both a supplementary reader and a text, for, though in story form, the chapters are arranged chronologically, and every fact recorded has been verified. Thanks are due to the many friend who have granted access to papers of historical value, to many others who have assisted in making this book a reality, and especially to my husband, Dr. Clyde Edison Purcell, for his valuable suggestions, careful criticisms, and untiring cooperation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charlemont; Or the Pride of the Village: A Tale of Kentucky It is not less the characteristic Of these regions to exhibit the passions and the talents Of the people in equal and wonderful saliency. We are accordingly struck with two classes of social facts, which do not Often arrest the atten tion in old communities. We see, for example, the most singular combination of simplicity and sagacity in the same person; simplicity in conventional respects, and sagacity in all that affects the absolute and real in life, nature and the human sensibilities. The rude man, easily imposed upon, in his faith, fierce as an outlaw in his conflicts with men, will be yet exquisitely alive to the nicest consciousness of woman; will as delicately appreciate her instincts and sensibilities, as if love and poetry had been his only tutors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Kentucky Rhymes: A Collection of Early Poems and Sketches Before my mother passed away she often requested me to publish the poems I wrote when a girl. Other relatives and friends in more recent years have urged me to publish them. With some reluc tance I am yielding to their wishes but with confidence that those who know what my daily life and work mean at this time, will readily see that my thoughts have risen to a higher hope and a clearer understanding than my earlier lispings indicated. I shall feel amply repaid for the risk in setting this little volume adrift, if but one person finds something in the poems that te news a hope or makes an otherwise long day seem short. A few of the poems contained in this book were written in recent years. For the most part, however, they ex press my earlier thoughts. If, there fore, some careful reader should feel inclined to criticise them, I am sure he will first consider the time in life when they were written.
