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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kentucky, Ancestral Homes: Hardin Thomas House Built by Thomas Lincoln Efforts to prove that Thomas Lincoln (father of the Sixteenth President) built the Hardin Thomas house, which is still standing near Elizabethtown, continue despite the lack of documentary records to nail down the facts. Up to date, the best information on the subject is to be found in Samuel Haycraft Jr's. A History of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and its Surroundings, written in 1869. On page 123, Chapter XXXII, Haycraft made the following statement: He (hardin Thomas) lived in a house rather better than usual for that day, the carpenter work of which was executed by Thomas Lincoln, the father of the late president; and the most of that work is to be seen at this day, sound as a trout, although done upwards of sixty years ago. Another Haycraft reference appears on page 55 of the Elizabethtown history as follows: He (jack Thomas) was born on the 7th day of February, 1790. His father (hardin Thomas) resided in a house the joiner's work of which was done by Thomas Lincoln, father of the president. Some of the descendants of Hardin Thomas contend that Jack Thomas was born in the cabin home in 1790 and that if Thomas Lincoln built the cabin it would have to be prior to 1790. Historians who have worked through Kentucky court house records are convinced that Thomas Lincoln was born in 1776, although President Abraham Lincoln probably believed that his father was born in 1778.

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.
