Excerpt from Kentucky: Mother of Governors
His, the first volume of the Kentucky Historical Series - a series just inaugur ated by the Kentucky State Historical Society - is a study of Kentucky initiative in the United States as exemplified in these more than one hundred sons of our Commonwealth who have served as Governors of other States and territories.
Mr. Townsend has realized that the list is the important thing, and he has made an earnest effort to have it complete. For this reason he has been content With sketches in miniature of each executive, knowing that, had he attempted anything like an adequate notice of each man, his paper would have become an octavo.
