Now, A History of White Hall offers a detailed look inside this expertly preserved structure and the people who helped shape its fascinating history.
Book Synopsis Captain Billy Bush and the Bush Settlement, Clark County, Kentucky, A Family History by : Harry G. Enoch
Download or read book Captain Billy Bush and the Bush Settlement, Clark County, Kentucky, A Family History written by Harry G. Enoch and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one played a more important role in the settlement of Clark County than Capt. William "Billy" Bush. Born in Orange County, Virginia, Billy came out with Daniel Boone in 1775, resided for a time at Fort Boonesborough, then spent the rest of his life living a few miles from the fort. He thus became one of the first permanent settlers in Kentucky. Billy was also a key figure in establishing Providence Baptist Church, the first church in Clark County. Their place of worship-the Old Stone Church-is now the oldest church on Kentucky soil. Billy Bush laid claim to thousands of acres of land between Winchester and the Kentucky River, and Daniel Boone ran the surveys for him. This land became the foundation of the Bush Settlement.

Book Synopsis The Papers of Henry Clay by : Henry Clay
Download or read book The Papers of Henry Clay written by Henry Clay and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 1972 with total page 1066 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fourth volume in the ten-volume series covers the career of Henry Clay during his first year as Secretary of State in the cabinet of President John Quincy Adams. Within a month after taking office, Henry Clay described the Department of State as "no bed of roses." Even though routine papers bearing his signature have been omitted by the editors, the 950 pages of documents included in this volume show that many duties filled Clay's days and nights. The evidence in autograph drafts and the meagerness of revision in the official documents indicate the need for major reconsideration of Clay's role in United States foreign relations during the presidency of John Quincy Adams. The range of issues emerging in these papers is broad, and the duties were obviously more than the limited staff of the Department of State could satisfactorily perform. But if, as a result, the United States suffered a major diplomatic defeat during the British revision of trade regulations, Clay's instructions to the Panama mission marked him as a statesman of world stature
Book Synopsis Writing the Legal Record by : Kurt X. Metzmeier
Download or read book Writing the Legal Record written by Kurt X. Metzmeier and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any student of American history knows of Washington, Jefferson, and the other statesmen who penned the documents that form the legal foundations of our nation, but many other great minds contributed to the development of the young republic's judicial system—figures such as William Littell, Ben Monroe, and John J. Marshall. These men, some of Kentucky's earliest law reporters, are the forgotten trailblazers who helped establish the foundation of the state's court system. In Writing the Legal Record: Law Reporters in Nineteenth-Century Kentucky, Kurt X. Metzmeier provides portraits of the men whose important yet understudied contributions helped create a new common law inspired by English legal traditions but fully grounded in the decisions of American judges. He profiles individuals such as James Hughes, a Revolutionary War veteran who worked as a legislator to reform confusing property laws inherited from Virginia. Also featured is George M. Bibb, a prominent U.S. senator and the secretary of the treasury under President John Tyler. To shed light on the pioneering individuals responsible for collecting and publishing the early opinions of Kentucky's highest court, Metzmeier reviews nearly a century of debate over politics, institutional change, human rights, and war. Embodied in the stories of these early reporters are the rich history of the Commonwealth, the essence of its legal system, and the origins of a legal print culture in America.
Book Synopsis History of Weddle’s Mill And Other Old Mills Located Near Doylesville on Muddy Creek In Madison County, Kentucky by : Harry G. Enoch
Download or read book History of Weddle’s Mill And Other Old Mills Located Near Doylesville on Muddy Creek In Madison County, Kentucky written by Harry G. Enoch and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-12-28 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Weddle operated a gristmill on Muddy Creek from the early to mid-1800s. The mill stood about two miles from the Kentucky River, near the road from Richmond to Jackson's Ferry. The establishment played a prominent role in the local community for nearly a century. The gristmill produced flour and cornmeal for nearby farmers, as well as for a distillery, and a stagecoach stop brought travelers by the tavern to sample the house whiskey. The mill was a county landmark until it was destroyed by a fire in 1971. Several concerns operated at the site at various times, including Douglas' Mill, Weddle's Mill, Walden's Distillery, Ogg's Mill and Griggs' Mill. Cassius Marcellus Clay, that most colorful member of Kentucky's most illustrious family, owned the mill for sixteen years. 54 pp.

Book Synopsis Boonesborough Unearthed by : Nancy O'Malley
Download or read book Boonesborough Unearthed written by Nancy O'Malley and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Revolutionary War, Fort Boonesborough was one of the most important and defensively crucial sites on the western frontier. It served not only as a stronghold against the British but also as a sanctuary, land office, and a potential seat of government. Originally meant to be the capital of a new American colony, Fort Boonesborough was thrust into a defensive role by the onset of the Revolutionary War. Post-Revolutionary attempts to develop a town failed and the site was abandoned. Yet Fort Boonesborough lived on in local memory. Boonesborough Unearthed: Frontier Archaeology at a Revolutionary Fort is the result of more than thirty years of research by archaeologist Nancy O'Malley. This groundbreaking book presents new information and fresh insights about Fort Boonesborough and life in frontier Kentucky. O'Malley examines the story of this historical landmark from its founding during a time of war into the nineteenth century. O'Malley also delves into the lives of the settlers who lived there, and explores the Transylvania Company's dashed hopes of forming a fourteenth colony at the fort. This insightful and informative work is a fascinating exploration into Kentucky's frontier past.

Book Synopsis African Americans at Fort Boonesborough, 1775-1784 by : Harry G. Enoch
Download or read book African Americans at Fort Boonesborough, 1775-1784 written by Harry G. Enoch and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-05-04 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to chronicle the lives of African Americans who were at Fort Boonesborough. We limited the scope of our narrative to the years the fort stood, 1775 and 1784. Fort Boonesborough is one of Kentucky's most historic places. It was the wilderness outpost of Richard Henderson's Transylvania Company and, for a few years, was home to Daniel Boone. Due to Boone's involvement, few places in early Kentucky have been so well documented and written about. It will surprise no one to learn that the early records and subsequent historical accounts mainly involve the white males who settled there. There are biographical sketches for Monk Estill, the "black Indian" Pompey, Frederick Hart, John Sidebottom, and others less well known. Our work identifies only a fraction of the pioneer African Americans of Kentucky. Many more deserve to be remembered and commemorated.
Book Synopsis Women at Fort Boonesborough, 1775-1784 by : Harry G. Enoch
Download or read book Women at Fort Boonesborough, 1775-1784 written by Harry G. Enoch and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-09-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fort Boonesborough is one of Kentucky's most historic places and, although seldom mentioned in popular accounts, women were there from the very beginning. This work includes 195 women whose presence at the fort can be reasonably documented by historical evidence. The time period was limited to the years between 1775, when the fort was established, and 1784, when the threat of Indian attack at Boonesborough had subsided and the fort's stockade walls had been taken down. The names of the female children these pioneer women brought to the fort are also included, as they shared the risks and hardships of frontier life. The work includes a Historical Sketch describing the women's experiences at the fort and a Biographical Section that gives a brief personal history of each woman. 174 pp., illus., indexed, paper.

Book Synopsis The Buzzel About Kentuck by : Craig Thompson Friend
Download or read book The Buzzel About Kentuck written by Craig Thompson Friend and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touted as an American Eden, Kentucky provides one of the most dramatic social histories of early America. In this collection, ten contributors trace the evolution of Kentucky from First West to Early Republic. The authors tell the stories of the state's remarkable settlers and inhabitants: Indians, African Americans, working-class men and women, wealthy planters and struggling farmers. Eager settlers built defensive forts across the countryside, while women and slaves used revivalism to create new opportunities for themselves in a white, patriarchal society. The world that this diverse group of people made was both a society uniquely Kentuckian and a microcosm of the unfolding American pageant. In the mid-1700s, the trans-Appalachian region gained a reputation for its openness, innocence, and rusticity- fertile ground for an agrarian republic founded on the virtue of the yeoman ideal. By the nineteenth century, writers of history would characterize the state as a breeding ground for an American culture of distinctly Anglo-Saxon origin. Modern historians, however, now emphasize exploring the entire human experience, rather than simply the political history, of the region. An unusual blend of social, economic, political, cultural, and religious history, this volume goes a long way toward answering the question posed by a Virginia clergyman in 1775: "What a buzzel is this amongst people about Kentuck?"
