  • Topography Along the Virginia-Kentucky Border
    Preface: Topography along the Virginia-Kentucky border. It took a long time for the Appalachian Mountain range to attain its present appearance, but no one was counting. Outcrops found at the base of Pine Mountain are Devonian rock, dating back 400 million years. But the rocks picked off the ground around Lexington, Kentucky, are even older; this limestone is from the Cambrian period, about 600 million years old. It is the same type and age rock found near the bottom of the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Of course, a mountain range is not created in a year or two. It took them about 400 years to obtain their character, and the Appalachian range has a lot of character. Geologists tell us this range extends from Alabama into Canada, and separates the plains of the eastern seaboard from the low-lying valleys of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Some subdivide the Appalachians into the Piedmont Province, the Blue Ridge, the Valley and Ridge area, and the Appalachian plateau. We also learn that during the Paleozoic era, the site of this mountain range was nothing more than a shallow sea; but during this time, as sediments built up, and the bottom of the sea sank. The hinge line between the area sinking, and the area being uplifted seems to have shifted gradually westward. At the end of the Paleozoric era, the earth movement are said to have reversed, at which time the horizontal layers of the rock were uplifted and folded, and for the next 200 million years the land was eroded, which provided material to cover the surrounding areas, including the coastal plain.

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.

  • Civil War Centennial Commission Records, 1961-1965
    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL COMMISSION RECORDS, 1961-1965 RECORD GROUP 22 Processed by: John E. Adamson Archival Technical Services Date Completed: November 1, 1972 MICROFILMED SCOPE AND CONTENT The papers of the Civil War Centennial Commission document the procedure Tennesseans utilized to observe properly the centennial anniversary of the American Civil War. Tennessee supplied more soldiers than any other southern state to the Federal and Confederate Armies and was the scene of 774 battles, which exceeds all states except Virginia. Created by an act of the General Assembly in 1959, (Chapter 203, Senate Bill 383, by Dement) the Commission was composed of by the Governor and House Speaker as ex- officio members, Chairman Stanley F. Horn, Executive Director Campbell H. Brown, three residents of each Grand Division, and an Advisory Council. Activities of the Commission included the erection of historical makers and the establishment of an educational publications program. Other functions were to focus public attention on neglected cemeteries, to collect and restore Confederate flags, and to initiate the formation of county and municipal committees. These local committees, which the Commission assisted in an advisory capacity, planned and financed 37 commemorative activities. The bulk of records is correspondence dated mainly from 1961 to 1965. Most of the correspondence pertains to Stanley F. Horn and Campbell H. Brown. The correspondence is arranged by author or subject in chronological order. Of particular interest is the relationship between the National Civil War Centennial Commission and government officials in Tennessee prior to the establishment of the Commission.
