Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located in the heart of the famed Bluegrass Region, Woodford County is one of the oldest counties in Kentucky. Prominent citizens met in 1788 to create a new county government before Kentucky was a state and the area was still part of Virginia. These individuals included attorney and minister Caleb Wallace, who would be the founder of several colleges, and Thomas Marshall, the father of US Supreme Court chief justice John Marshall. With some of the finest pastureland in the world, the nearby Kentucky River for transportation, and an enterprising and industrious population, Woodford soon became one of the more prosperous counties in the state. Today, Woodford County is a community of the 21st century, but it is still known for its Thoroughbred horses, bourbon distilleries, rolling landscapes, and stone fences.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woodford County History In the early 1800's, as the population of the eastern states increased, available land for homesteading sites became hard to find. So those who sought to avoid the crowd set out to conquer the prairies of the West in the new state of Illinois they sought a new life. Woodford county was organized in 1841 by a committee of pioneers, headed by Thomas Bullock who came to Walnut Grove (now Eureka) in 1835 from his birthplace in Versailles, Woodford County, Kentucky. The county and its first county seat, Versailles, were both named by Mr. Bullock in honor of his boyhood home. Versailles village ceased to exist many years ago.

This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you ever hear the name of a place and wonder "where in the world was that?" Answering that question about quaint and historic places in Clark County, Kentucky, became the basis of a regular column in the Winchester Sun called "Where In The World?" The series began on January 6, 2005, with "Bramblett's Lick." This is the third published volume of those collected columns. Previous volumes contained 162 articles published between 2005 and 2016. This volume continues the series with 56 articles that appeared in the Sun from June 2016 to March 2018. There are fewer articles in this volume because more recent articles are much longer than the early ones. Each article describes a historic location or notable person in Clark County, some well known, some not so well known. Some articles were updated from the newspaper version as additional information became available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Raitz examines the rich story of distilling in its Kentucky heartland and traces its maturation from a local craft to an enduring industry.” —William Wyckoff, author of How to Read the American West While other industries chase after the new and improved, bourbon makers celebrate traditions that hearken back to an authentic frontier craft. Distillers enshrine local history in their branding and time-tested recipes, and rightfully so. Kentucky’s unique geography shaped the whiskeys its settlers produced, and for more than two centuries, distilling bourbon fundamentally altered every aspect of Kentucky’s landscape and culture. Making Bourbon: A Geographical History of Distilling in Nineteenth-Century Kentucky illuminates how the specific geography, culture, and ecology of the Bluegrass converged and gave birth to Kentucky’s favorite barrel-aged whiskey. Expanding on his fall 2019 release Bourbon’s Backroads, Karl Raitz delivers a more nuanced discussion of bourbon’s evolution by contrasting the fates of two distilleries in Scott and Nelson Counties. In the nineteenth century, distilling changed from an artisanal craft practiced by farmers and millers to a large-scale mechanized industry. The resulting infrastructure—farms, mills, turnpikes, railroads, steamboats, lumberyards, and cooperage shops—left its permanent mark on the land and traditions of the commonwealth. Today, multinational brands emphasize and even construct this local heritage. This unique interdisciplinary study uncovers the complex history poured into every glass of bourbon. “A gem. The depth of Raitz’s research and the breadth of his analysis have produced a masterful telling of the shift from craft to industrial distilling. And in telling us the story of bourbon, Raitz also makes a terrific contribution to our understanding of America's nineteenth-century economy.” —David E. Hamilton, author of From New Day to New Deal
