Detailed, really too detailed for my needs, but I am the kind of compulsive writer who will read 500 pages of historical detail to get one of my fictional details right. If you want to know who was the first governor, silver smith or hog farmer in Kentucky, this is the book for you.

Not sure it’s the best History of Kentucky but it’s among them.

A bit dated with politically incorrect language like calling the Shawnee et. al. “savages,” but a classic book.

I started this book about two weeks ago. It is fascinating; a must read for anyone interested in Kentucky history.

This book is an essential book for any Kentuckian. One living in KY should not go through life without the knowledge Thomas Clark has to offer about our beautiful state!!
