Item description from seller

An overview of the early days of Nelson County, Kentucky, and biographies of some of the county's prominent residents from the late 1800s, are combined with a brief history of the state in this new 48-page book. The spiral-bound book includes biographies from the 1880's book, Kentucky: A History of the State by J.H. Battle, W.H. Perrin and G.C. Kniffin, excerpts from Kentucky, a Guide to the Bluegrass State, a 1939 product of the WPA Writer's Program, and information from various internet sources. The tri-color front cover is printed on 80# card stock and has been protected with a vinyl sheet. The individual biographies often shed light on the area and the times, including the Civil War era, as well as providing specific genealogical data.
