Download or read book The WPA Guide to Kentucky written by Federal Writers' Project and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The Bluegrass State of Kentucky, which was primarily a rural state in the 1930’s when this WPA Guide was published, features Louisville as the only major city. Yet this does not limit the material in the guide by any means, as it also includes essays on Daniel Boone, bluegrass music, and old Southern American culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This meeting site guide for Lexington, Kentucky and the Bluegrass region around Lexington illustrates why the state of Kentucky and this region are excellent examples of how geography plays out on the land, how regions emerge, and how human events and processes, in the context of the physical environment, lead to differentiation and distinction, and long-term boundary maintenance. This guide also shows how and why the Inner Bluegrass' central location and excellent situation, in both Kentucky and the eastern United States, have recently become key reasons for businesses and services to locate in the region. The introduction (Richard Ulack) focuses on: (1) "Early Settlement of the Inner Bluegrass"; (2) "From the 1790s to Today"; and (3) "Inner Bluegrass Attractions." Chapter 1 titled "Creating the Bluegrass Environment" (John F. Watkins and Gary O'Dell) describes Kentucky's physical regions. Chapter 2, "Creating Places and Regions," includes the following: (1) "The Countryside" (Karl B. Raitz); (2) "The Region's Towns and Cities" (Richard Ulack); (3) "The Population of the Inner Bluegrass" (Richard Ulack); (4) "Bluegrass Culture" (Karl B. Raitz); and (5) "Lexington" (Richard Schein). Chapter 3, "Interactions and Connections," has the following: (1) "Lexington as Center for Transportation, Communications, and Information" (Stanley D. Brunn); (2) "Modern Lexington as Regional Center" (Richard Schein); (3) "Horse Breeding and Racing" (Karl B. Raitz); and (4) "Automobiles and the Japanese Connection: Toyota in Kentucky" (Susan Roberts). Chapter 4, "Learning Activities" (Nijel Clayton; Kate Greer Fischer), contains the following: (1) "Kentucky's Physical Landscapes"; (2) "Tobacco: King or Curse?" (3) "Studying Land Use through City Directories"; (4) "Black Settlement Patterns in the Bluegrass"; (5) "The Horse Industry in Kentucky"; and (6) "On the Road Again...." Maps, tables, and figures accompany the text." Contains 22 references. (EH)
