Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Kentucky in the Nation´s History As this volume represents a conscious departure from the customary method of dealing with State history, a word of explanation, as to my object, is necessary. The real aim of the study of State history, as I conceive it, should be to add to our knowledge of the nation, as the day for the cultivation of a purely local patriotism - if, indeed, that day ever existed - has passed forever. To write of the history of a State as though it were something apart from the nation is not only to violate the "unity of history," but also to deprive the nation of a valuable source of information concerning national events. In making historical investigations, from time to time, I have been impressed by the fact that much material, bearing upon the nations history, lies buried in local archives and private collections. For the student of purely local history, most of this material is of little value, relating, as it does, to distinctly national questions, while, to the national historian, it is inaccessible, it being obviously impossible for the investigator, in such broad fields, to delve very deeply into local treasuries. In the preparation of the present volume, I have studied the local collections from the point of view of one primarily interested in the nation. Such local events as have had a distinctly national influence, as well as such national events as have particularly affected local conditions, have been my concern.
