  • KENTUCKY in AMERICAN LETTERS Volume I by JOHN WILSON TOWNSEND
    KENTUCKY IN AMERICAN LETTERS Volume I BY JOHN WILSON TOWNSEND KENTUCKY IN AMERICAN LETTERS JOHN FILSON John Filson, the first Kentucky historian, was born at East Fallowfield, Pennsylvania, in 1747. He was educated at the academy of the Rev. Samuel Finley, at Nottingham, Maryland. Finley was afterwards president of Princeton University. John Filson looked askance at the Revolutionary War, and came out to Kentucky about 1783. In Lexington he conducted a school for a year, and spent his leisure hours in collecting data for a history of Kentucky. He interviewed Daniel Boone, Levi Todd, James Harrod, and many other Kentucky pioneers; and the information they gave him was united with his own observations, forming the material for his book. Filson did not remain in Kentucky much over a year for, in 1784, he went to Wilmington, Delaware, and persuaded James Adams, the town's chief printer, to issue his manuscript as The Discovery, Settlement, and Present State of Kentucke; and then he continued his journey to Philadelphia, where his map of the three original counties of Kentucky—Jefferson, Fayette, and Lincoln— was printed and dedicated to General Washington and the United States Congress. This Wilmington edition of Filson's history is far and away the most famous history of Kentucky ever published. Though it contained but 118 pages, one of the six extant copies recently fetched the fabulous sum of $1,250—the highest price ever paid for a Kentucky book. The little work was divided into two parts, the first part being devoted to the history of the country, and the second part was the first biography of Daniel Boone ever published.

Durrill Abstract This study examines changes that Kentucky’s white middle class made to marital ideals in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. It demonstrates that this developing class refined an earlier ideal of companionate marriage to better suit their economic, social, and cultural circumstances in an urban environment. This reevaluation of companionate marriage corresponded with Kentucky’s escalating entry into a national market economy and the state’s most rapid period of urbanization. As it became increasingly unlikely that young men born to Kentucky’s white landed settler families would inherit either land or enslaved labor, they began to rely on advanced education in order to earn a livelihood in towns and cities. Because lack of land and labor caused a delay in their ability to marry, the members of Kentucky’s middle class focused attention on romantic passion rather a balance of reasoned affection and wealth in land when they formulated their urban marital ideal.

In his interesting "Sketches of North Cai-olina," it is stated by Rev. W. H. Foote, that the political principle asserted by the Scotch-Irish settlers in that State, in what is known as the "Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence," of the right to choose their own civil rulers, was the legitimate outgrowth of the religious principle for which their ancestors had fought in both Ireland and Scotland—that of their right to choose their own re- ligious teachers. After affirming that "The famous book, Lex Rex, by Rev. Samuel Rutherford, was full of principles that lead to Republican action," and that the Protestant emigrants to America from the North of Ireland had learned the rudiments of republicanism in the latter country, the same author empha- sizes the assertion that "these great principles they brought with them to America." In writing these pages the object has been, not to tickle vanity by reviving recollections of empty titles, or imaginary dig- or of wealth in a and nities, dissipated ; but, plain simple manner, to trace from their origin in this country a number of Kentucky families of Scottish extraction, whose ancestors, after having been seated in Ireland for several generations, emigrated to America early in the eighteenth century and became the pioneers of the Valley of Virginia, to the communities settled in which they gave their own distinguishing characteristics.

CINCINNATI :• CHICAGO AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY Copyright, 1896, 1909, 1919, by AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY HISTORY OF KENTUCKY EP 28 otr lb !9!b ©CI.AJ)30853 -I I TO THE MEMORY OF MY FATHER William 115ur^ ^infeeaO FROM WHOM WAS DERIVED WHATEVER TRUTHFUL UNDERSTANDING OF THE KENTUCKY PEOPLE THIS LITTLE BOOK CONTAINS PREFACE 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 Kentuckians, 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 character- istics 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 im- portance 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 State's life; and that which follows, to the prose stage.

  • Episode Transcript
    The Reckoning: Episode One Transcript Dan Gediman: Until recently, when most people thought of Louisville, it was the place where the Kentucky Derby was run 1, or maybe the birthplace of Muhammad Ali2. But now, people know Louisville for differentreasons. The city has become a flashpoint -- the place where Breonna Taylor was shot and killed, in her own home, in the middle of the night, as police broke down her door under a no-knock warrant, looking for drugs that weren't there. It's also the place where David McAtee was shot and killed by a member of the National Guard, as they confronted a group of Black citizens, out after curfew. But the problems that have fueled the protests on the streets of Louisville didn't start with the death of Breonna Taylor, or David McAtee, or George Floyd in Minneapolis, or the many other African Americans unjustifiably killed in recent years. The issues that led to these protests -- police brutality, health and wealth inequities, mass incarceration, started much, much further back. Some say to the 1600s when the first enslaved Africans were brought to this country. Slavery shaped America, and most definitely the state of Kentucky. But that history, and its legacy, have rarely been explored, or even acknowledged, here in Kentucky. Patrick Lewis: I would say it is pretty common across the state for for white Kentuckians not to consider their connections to slavery. Vanessa Holden: Whole generations of enslaved people just disappeared from Kentucky into the cotton fields of the deep south. Chanelle Helm: One of the strongest connections people need to understand is time, it's only been 152 years since the emancipation proclamation was even put into effect.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY K4\s \ndQ,A, cop. -^ lUIWIS una A COMPLETE INDEX TO THE NAMES OF PERSONS, PLACES AND SUBJECTS MENTIONED IN LITTELL'S LAWS OF KENTUCKY A GENEALOGICAL AND HISTORICAL GUIDE PREPARED BY W. T. SMITH OF THE LEXINGTON, KY., BAR ;.v>y>v>*^^t?gssss THE BRADFORD CLUB PRESS LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY 1931 Copyright, 1931 BY W. T. SMITH 3^5. IT. PREFACE The present work was undertaken at the suggestion of Judge Samuel M. Wilson, the noted lawyer, historian and genealogist of Lexington, Kentucky. The plan of the work, as originally conceived, was to compile an index merely of the names of all persons, as they appear in the five volumes of Littell's Laws of Kentucky. However, as the work progressed, it developed that identical names from time to time appeared in the series of enactments collected by Littell, which the context showed often referred to entirely different persons. It seemed desirable, therefore, in order to avoid confusion, to show further, in the index, as concisely as possible, the connection in which mention of any name is made. As the volumes of Littell's Laws furnish a fair view and exposi- tion of the early development of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, it has, likewise, seemed desirable to include, in addition to the names of individuals, an index of schools, newspapers, and corporations formed for public purposes, such as those for the opening of streams to navigation, the building of roads, and the like, and of corpora- tions engaged in manufacturing enterprises. As showing the growth and trend of the tobacco industry, there is appended an index of all »^inspection sites established by law.
