Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Kentucky, Vol. 1 of 5 The present work is the result of consultation and cooperation. Those engaged in its composition have had but one purpose, and that was to give to the people of Kentucky a social and political account of their state. Based on contemporaneous history, as nearly as the accomplishment of such an undertaking were possible. It has not been the purpose of those who have labored in concert to follow any line of precedent. While omitting no important event in the history of the state, there has been a decided inclination to rather stress those events that have not hitherto engaged the attention of other writers and historians, than to indulge in a mere repetition of that which is common knowledge. How far they have succeeded in this purpose a critical public must determine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Kentucky, Vol. 1 The following list of Revolutionary soldiers, many of them Officers, who were still living in Kentucky in 1840 - nearly sixty years after that soldier life had closed - will show how the remarkable healthfulness of the climate and the simple and steady habits of those men and their widows conduced to long life. And what is still more remarkable than the great ageattained by them, is that, even at that great age, over two-thirds (nearly three-fourths) of them were still the heads of families, and themselves housekeepers - not content to live with, much less be dependent upon, their children or others; so strangely and strongly and sternly was the spirit of personal independence implanted in their natures by their very mode of life. But this list - remarkable as it is for Showing how many Revolutionary Soldiers emigrated to Kentucky and were still living and citizens thereof in 1840 - contains the names of probably less than one-third of those who re moved to Kentucky. Until about 1830, the pension laws embraced only the permanently wounded and invalid soldiers. Many refused a pension alto gather, declaring they could support themselves, and would not seem dependent for even a portion of their bread upon a country Whose liberties they had fought to obtain, and were willing to fight again to preserve. And many died, or fell victims to Indian vengeance, in the long interval from 1780 to 1814, and from 1814 to 1840. A few Whose names are in the list, it is evi dent from their age, were too young to be in the Revolutionary war, except as drummers or wagon-boys; while a few others were probably in the Indian wars soon after the Revolution. The figures indicate their age, in 1840. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Organized in the District when there was scarcely a cabin outside of the forts in all its broad domain - its standard-bearers exposed to privations, sufferings, and dangers, the recital of which seem more like romantic stories, selected from the legends of fable, than the sober realities of history -planted and nourished amid opposition and difficulties that brave hearts only could surmount, the extraordinary success that has attended it, growing up in eighty years from a single society of only a few members to a membership of nearly fifty thousand, with more than five hundred ministers, (traveling and local, ) church-edifices in every community, schools and seminaries of learning in different portions of the Slate - its truths proclaimed in every neighborhood, and its vital energies and hallowed influence imparting life to other Christian communions, it is invested with an importance at once attractive and commanding.

The want here indicated is now about being sup plied; and, as the task of doing so is no light or superficial one, the publishers have given into the hands of the two gentlemen whose names appear in the title-page, the work of preparing a series of cabi net histories, embracing a volume for each state in the Union. Of their ability to perform this well, we need not speak. They are no strangers in the literary world. What they undertake the public may rest assured will be performed thoroughly, and that no sectarian, sectional, or party feelings will bias their judgment, or lead them to violate the integrity of history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Kentucky, Vol. 2 Tan late H. P. Peers, of the city of Maysville, laid the foundation for the work which is now presented to the reading community. Mr. Peers designed it to be simply a small Gazetteer of the State; and had collected, and partially arranged for publication, the major part of the materials, comprising a description of the towns and counties. Upon his de cease, the materials passed into the hands of the Author, who determined to remodel them, and make such additions as would give permanency and increased value to the work. He has devoted much labor to this object; but circumstances having rendered its publication necessary at an earlier day than was contemplated, some errors may have escaped, which more time, and a fuller investigation would have enabled him to detect. Serious obstacles have been encountered, in the preparation of the Biographical Sketches. Many of those which appear in the work, were prepared from the personal recollections of the Author; while others have been omitted, because he did not know to whom he could apply for them, or having applied, and in some instances repeatedly, failed in procuring them. This is his apology, for the non-appearance of many names in that department, which are entitled to a distinguished place in the annals of Kentucky.

During this administration her life was saddened by the death of two daughters, a young girl of twelve, who died on her way to Washington, and a married daughter of twenty, who died of yellow fever in New Orleans. Nevertheless, the weekly levees were held alternately at the President's and Mrs. Clay's. Under the burden of her sorrows and of her trying social duties as the wife of the Secretary of State, her health gave way, but she continued to accompany Mr. Clay to Washington and was with him there every year until 1835, with the exception of 1829 and 1830, when he was out of public life and at Ashland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Kentucky In 1788 the savage Indians roamed almost at will all over the territory now known as Kentucky. In 1792 Kentucky was admitted as a State of the Union. Nothing in the history of this country, and perhaps of the world, shows such rapid development of a people in founding settlements and making homes for their families. It seems almost like a fairy tale. It is safe to say that no State in the American Union has had such a unique history as Kentucky. It has no parallel. And this progress was accomplished by the most fearful sacrifices, the most heroic actions, and the history of it all is written in blood. All things considered, there is no population similar to the people who accomplished these results. Tennessee was very much like Kentucky, and it is to be hoped that some of her sons will put in perma nent and compact form a history of her achievements as I am trying to do for my native State. It goes without saying that the Kentuckians have always been considered a peculiar people, and wherever they are found they still manifest the characteristics of their ancestors.

The pres ent work is the primal history 'of the Kentucky Baptists. Some fragmentary accounts of churches and associations have been printed from time to time, but nothing like a' connected history of the denomination has been published since Benedict's epitome of its early operations was issued from the press at Boston, Massachusetts, in 1813.

In the years that immediately pre ceded the Civil war and in the late '4os of the last century immigrants from the Emerald Isle came in large numbers to this country, owing largely to the unsatisfactory economic conditions prevailing at that time in Ireland. The' Lynch family, of whom John F. Lynch is a descendant, was among the early settlers in. Chilesburg, Kentucky. John F. Lynch, now engaged in farming and in the management of a general merchandise store and in the handling of grain, coal, seeds, etc;, at Chilesburg, lying six miles east of Lexington, was born near Chilesburg, a son of Patrick and Bridget (walsh) Lynch, natives of Ireland, who came to this country when they were children and later married in Ken tucky. Some time after the Civil war Patrick Lynch took up farming near Chilesburg, and continued along that line up to the time of his death, which occurred in 1904. His widow died-in the following year. These worthy people were the parents Of four sons and two daughters: Mrs. Thomas B._ Adams, living at Brighton; Thomas, a farmer near Chilesburg; William, deputy county assessor, living at Lexington; John F., subject of this sketch; James, living with his sister at Brighton; and Anna, who died in March, 1910.
