by Lowell H. Harrison (Author)

"An excellent analysis, this book explains the long process that led to statehood for Kentucky."

Back Jacket

From its origins in the Cumberland Mountains to its entry into the Ohio, the Kentucky River flows through two areas that have made Kentucky known throughout the world-the dark, remote mountains in the eastern part of the state and the lush rolling Bluegrass in its center. In this book Thomas Clark has painted a rich panorama of history and life along the river, peopled with the famous and infamous, ordinary folk and legendary characters. It is a canvas distinctly emblematic of the American experience.
