Our Fellow Kentuckians: Rascals, Heroes and Just Plain Uncommon Folk

by James C. Claypool

In this one-of-a-kind collection, Dr. James C. Claypool, professor emeritus at Northern Kentucky University, rolls out the red carpet for thirty-nine of the most fascinating characters with ties to the commonwealth. From intrepid pioneers to noble statesmen, legendary athletes, inventors, entrepreneurs, war heroes and a couple of men named Cassius Clay, this is a comprehensive and highly entertaining volume that no true Kentuckian should be without. Some will make you proud, others may leave you in shame, but good or bad, noble or vile, they are still our fellow Kentuckians.

[Katrina Franklin]

This book would have been more enjoyable if it hadn’t had such a racist slant. And every mention of “Indians” was preceded by the word “hostile”.
