Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Kentucky History Preliminary. - In fulness of history, Kentucky ranks with her parent state - Virginia - and with states like Massachusetts, New York, and Texas; in productiveness of political and military leadership, she ranks with our first commonwealths; and in character and educative value, her record is almost unique. Like that of Tennessee, her history reads like a novel. The daring and chivalrous deeds of native sons furnish us names for many counties. There are crises in the life of the state that are thrilling as well as perplexing; and it is to her lasting honor that, though blundering occasionally, she emerged from them with discretion and credit. This supplement can present only the barest outline of facts. Its main purpose is to lead students to investigate her interesting annals. For further reading the following books are suggested: Publications that can be secured from the Filson Club, Louisville, especially on the early history; Kinkead´s History of Kentucky is well known; A Young People´s History of Kentucky, by E. P. Thompson, contains some instructive condensed biographies; Kentucky: A Pioneer Commonwealth, by N. S. Shaler, is well written and is good on the Civil War; Marshall (1824 edition) presents the history from a Federal view; Collins is rightly regarded as an authority; E. P. Johnson, A History of Kentucky and Kentuckians; Speed´s Union Cause in Kentucky; Thwaites´s Daniel Boone; Schurz´s Henry Clay; and best of all, McElroy´s Kentucky in the Nation´s History - a critical history, very well written, and containing a good bibliography.
