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 mountains in the eastern
part of the state and the Bluegrass in its center. In _The Kentucky_,
Thomas D. Clark paints 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.
_The Kentucky_ was first published in 1942 as part of the "Rivers of
America" series and has long been out of print. Reissued in this new
enlarged edition, it brings back to life a distinguished contribution
to Kentuckiana and is itself a historical document. In his new
conclusion for this edition, Dr. Clark discusses some of the
tremendous changes that have taken place since the book's initial
publication.
