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.

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.

Book Synopsis The Story of Kentucky (Classic Reprint) by : Emma M. Connelly
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.

Book Synopsis Old Kentucky (Classic Reprint) by : J. F. Cook
Download or read book Old Kentucky (Classic Reprint) written by J. F. Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 288 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charlemont; Or the Pride of the Village: A Tale of Kentucky It is not less the characteristic Of these regions to exhibit the passions and the talents Of the people in equal and wonderful saliency. We are accordingly struck with two classes of social facts, which do not Often arrest the atten tion in old communities. We see, for example, the most singular combination of simplicity and sagacity in the same person; simplicity in conventional respects, and sagacity in all that affects the absolute and real in life, nature and the human sensibilities. The rude man, easily imposed upon, in his faith, fierce as an outlaw in his conflicts with men, will be yet exquisitely alive to the nicest consciousness of woman; will as delicately appreciate her instincts and sensibilities, as if love and poetry had been his only tutors.
