This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of Kentucky pioneer life, Charles R. Staples creates a colorful record of Lexington's first twenty-seven years. He writes of the establishment of an urban center in the midst of the frontier expansion, and in the process documents Lexington's vanishing history. Staples begins with the settlement of the town, describing its early struggles and movement toward becoming the "capitol" of Fayette County. He also presents interesting pictures of the early pioneers and their livelihood: food, dress, houses, cooking utensils, "house raisings," religious meetings, horse races, and other types of entertainment. First published in 1939, this reprint provides those interested in the early history of Kentucky with a comprehensive look at Lexington's pioneer period. Staples recreates a time when downtown's busiest streets were still wilderness and a land rich with agricultural potential was developing commercial elements. Because he wrote during a period when much of pioneer Lexington remained, he provides a wealth of primary information that could not be assembled again.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF DANIEL DRAKE, M. D. The life whose first fifteen years are depicted in this volume, was one of devotion to science under many difficulties and with many drawbacks. It was one, also, which surmounted those obstacles and achieved success and distinction. The lesson of patience and perseverance learned in his childhood and youth in the wilds of the " Dark and Bloody Ground" molded that life. With him who learned it, as recounted in the Letters now made public, labor was not more a destiny than a choice, and the pursuit of knowledge not less a desire than a necessity. Par back in my childhood's memories are recollections of his protracted study, his keen and constant observation, his intense search of knowledge through men and books. One of the most distinct impressions left upon me by recollections extending through more than a third of a century prior to his death, is, that he sought knowledge for its own sake and for the good it enabled him to do, rather than for the profit it brought to himself. Prom my earliest memory to the close of his distinguished career, a broad public spirit inspired his actions; too much so, oftentimes, for his personal benefit. Had he lived more selfishly, the occasion for this prefatory memoir in connection with these letters, might not have existed. An extended memoir of Doctor Drake, by Edward D. Mansfield, having been published in 1855, I shall confine myself principally to references to his professional and public life, rather than to details of his personal history. To obtain any just view of his professional and public character and of the obstacles to improvement which he met and overcame, we should know something of what Cincinnati was when he, in December, 1800, became a student...

Excerpt: ...but ' begin with cutting up the fat, a work to which boys are well adapted. The fat being "tried" out, the next labor was chopping sausage meat, which I began with a hatchet because too small to lift a heavier tool, and continued till I could use the axe with a vigorous arm. The stripping, twisting into links, hanging on poles, and moderate smokedrying succeeded. Lastly, the frying and the feast; for in those days of simple fare, the annual return of the sausage season was hailed by the whole family. To this hour I prefer good, and especially clean sausage, to any other meat. The same season and the same killing were followed by other labors of an interesting kind. A Jersey housekeeper could never neglect or forget the delicious mince pie, in the manufacture of which I have wielded the chopping axe full many a hour. For a long time, however, apples were too "dear" and scarce to justify a large application of them to that object. Our compositions, compared with those of modern times, were abundantly simple, but on that account more salubrious, and as our tastes were formed to no more savory mixture, they were eaten as delicious.' Other dainties still awaited us as the result of killing hogs. They were "dough-nuts" and "wonders," the latter being known to you under the name of crullers. I can find neither word in Webster, and from early association prefer the former. These sweet compounds of flour and milk and spices, .boiled in fresh lard till they assume a beautiful fawn color, are still my favorites, and can at any time maintain a rivalship even with sister Belle's soft gingerbread; on which, however, as it is past 12 o'clock and a starlight morning, I mean presently...
