Description
Kentucky has always been something of an enigma, never fitting neatly into regional categories of north, east, south, or west. It is a borderland, and its unique blend of glitz and glamour juxtaposed with its rough and wild reputation continue to make it a place that is hard to pin down. Designed for college students, both those born here and those who are making the state their temporary home, this book provides an introduction to Kentucky's history, moving beyond simplistic stereotypes to consider the forces that have shaped its development over more than two centuries.
The book can also be read online at https://saalck.pressbooks.pub/momk/.
