Download or read book Olive Hill written by Willie Davis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carter County, Kentucky was blessed with an abundance of diverse natural resources, including timber, iron ore, coal, and limestone. During the Industrial Revolution one of its towns, Olive Hill, became the center of a 600 square mile hotbed of fireclay, a unique heat-resistant clay used to make firebricks. For decades, thousands of hard-working Olive Hillians dug, moulded, and fired that uncommon clay into hundreds of thousands of firebricks per day to line open hearth steel furnaces, locomotive fireboxes, and steamship boilers. Without the steel, there would be no skyscrapers and no rail lines. Without the trains and ships, there would be no movement to expedite a growing nation. Olive Hill firebricks helped make this possible. Olive Hill and its people gave all that it had in a time it was most needed until a time it was needed no more. More people need to know the Olive Hill story. More people need to know more American History. Olive Hill the book is a historical fiction novel that follows the Reed family from May of 1800 thru June of 1959. It tells the Olive Hill story as I see it.

Download or read book The Ghost Towns of 174 written by Willie Davis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses on the Davis/Hall families but is written in context of history’s repeating cycles and generational change. Chapters are devoted to Kentucky’s out-migration, Carter County’s service to the country, Olive Hill and Morehead history, and a driving tour of the six ghost town communities in the late 1950s. “People from Appalachia never forget “back home,” says Davis. “But, to me, “back home” isn’t Lil Abner, but a place where proud people made this nation proud.”
