Durrill Abstract Rehearsal for Redemption: The Politics of Post-Emancipation Violence in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region By James Michael Rhyne In the late antebellum period, changing economic and social realities fostered conflicts among Kentuckians as tension built over a number of issues, especially the future of slavery. Local clashes matured into widespread, violent confrontations during the Civil War, as an ugly guerrilla war raged through much of the state. Additionally, African Americans engaged in a wartime contest over the meaning of freedom. Nowhere were these interconnected conflicts more clearly evidenced than in the Bluegrass Region. Though Kentucky had never seceded, the Freedmen’s Bureau established a branch in the Commonwealth after the war.

  • WILLIAM WHITLEY 1749-1813 B¢ CHARLES G. TALBERT Part II* on a Small Rise Just South of U. S. Highway 150 and About Two Miles We
    WILLIAM WHITLEY 1749-1813 B¢ CHARLES G. TALBERT Lexington, Kentucky Part II* THE WILLIAM WHITLEY HOUSE On a small rise just south of U. S. highway 150 and about two miles west of the town of Crab Orchard, Kentucky, stands the residence which was once the home of the pioneers, William and Esther Whitley. The house is of bricks, which are laid in Flemish bond rather than in one of the English bonds which are more common in Kentucky. In this type of construction each horizontal row of bricks contains alternating headers and stretch- ers, that is, one brick is laid lengthwise, the next endwise, etc. English bond may consist of alternating rows of headers and stretchers, or, as is more often the case, a row of headers every fifth, sixth, or seventh row.1 In the Whitley house the headers in the gable ends are glazed so that a slightly darker pattern, in this case a series of diamonds, stands out clearly. Thus is achieved the effect generally known as ornamental Flemish bond which dates back to eleventh cen- tury Normandy. One of the earliest known examples of this in England is a fourteenth century church at Ashington, Essex, and by the sixteenth century it was widely used for English dwellings.2 Another feature of the Whitley house which never fails to attract attention is the use of dark headers to form the initials of the owner just above the front entrance.3 The idea of brick initials and dates was known in England in the seventeenth cen- tury, one Herfordshire house bearing the inscription, "1648 W F M." One of the earliest American examples was Carthagena in St.
