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.

Download or read book History of Kentucky Classic Reprint written by Elizabeth Shelby Kinkead and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Kentucky In the preparation of this book, an attempt has been made to relate the events of practical, everyday life, in such a manner as to make the study of the history of our State a pleasure to the pupil. While adhering to facts as closely as they could be ascertained, the aim has been that the whole shall entertain as a connected story. Special effort has been made to portray the spirit of the Kenluckians, in order that the student may understand and revere the people from whom he is sprung. To this end, more space has been given to their characteristics as indicated by tales of particular acts, than to the statistics of battles in which they have taken part. As this is a narration of the life of a State, and as the connection of one incident with another is of more importance in a work of this kind than the grouping of kindred topics, the chronological order of development has been followed. The subject naturally divides itself into five clearly marked periods. And these lend themselves readily to important subdivisions. That portion of the history which extends to the close of the War of 1812 belongs to the poetic stage in the States life; and that which follows, to the prose stage.

Download or read book The Story of Kentucky Classic Reprint written by Emma M. Connelly and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Kentucky The Story of Kentucky is. No less exact history because of its somewhat romantic air. Where a character hitherto unknown in history is introduced, it has always been drawn from real life, with only such unimportant changes as name, residence, and the occasional borrowing of incident from the lives of others among the great crowd of unknown and unsung. And, in a certain sense, are not these as much a part of their times and country as those whom ambition and self-assertion, as often as excep tional merit, have served to bring into prominence? There are shadows but none unwarranted by the truth as I have seen it, and none questioned by the two historical authorities who care' fully examined the manuscript and proofs - one a literary mem ber of the State Historical Society at Louisville, the Filson Club. I had no thought of writing a Preface it seems a rather per sonal, egotistic proceeding; but, since I am requested to write one, I might as well speak the thoughts that are in my mind, and express my pleasure in the recent renewal of literary inter est in Kentucky, even though that means a good deal of criticism, just and unjust. Since the passing away of the pic turesque pioneer with his tales-of adventure, Kentucky seems to have presented little temptation to the poet, dramatist and story-writer. And the flying tourist scans the uninviting fields along his way-(especially certain sections of Eastern Ken tucky) - in cherished ignorance of the fact that he sees no more of the real Kentucky than he sees of great cities under similar circumstances. The typical Kentuckian is scarcely less averse to the railroad as a feature of his landscape than Ruskin, and is far more active in keeping it out. His home is not on the highway, but hidden away among clustering forest trees. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of Elizabethtown Kentucky and Its Surroundings Classic Reprint written by Samuel Haycraft and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Elizabethtown, Kentucky and Its Surroundings Samuel Haycraft's "History of Elizabethtown and Its Surroundings" was published in the Elizabethtown News in 1869 and republished in 1889-90. The preservation of this history through its publication in the News is a happy occurrence, for in no other way would much of the early history of the town have been accurately preserved. Mr. Haycraft was a son of one of the three pioneer settlers of the town, and was born when the town was still an early pioneer settlement. At the time of his death he had lived here 83 years, and he was the only remaining citizen whose life went back to the town's earliest days. Elizabethtown is now 140 years old, and it will not be long before no one will be left whose interest in the town's history is quickened by personal memory of its early inhabitants. When that time comes, traditions will rapidly grow vague, and the knowledge of its early history and characters will be lost. On account of facts like these the Elizabethtown Woman's Club undertook the publication of Haycraft's History in book form. The original suggestion of this came from Mrs. William Allen Pusey, of Chicago. There are many Elizabethtown people both at home and abroad to whom the town is dear and who are interested in preserving its history. When this matter was proposed to them there was a gratifying response which has enabled the club to proceed with the undertaking. Quite aside from local interest and personal feelings there are other good reasons for the publication of this work. It is an exceedingly interesting document, particularly in the vivid description which the writer gives of pioneer customs and conditions. The author loved the town and its early history, and he describes it in vigorous style and with a quaint sense of humor. He was little disturbed in his writing by the laws of composition, but his descriptions flow on easily, and the reader is never uncertain as to what he is trying to say. The original copy has been reproduced without any effort at alteration or correction. A few chapters, composed of material not really a part of the history of the town and its surroundings, have been omitted.
