Review:

"Rock art includes petroglyphs and pictographs, or designs carved in or painted on the faces of rocks, respectively. In their book, Coy et al, present the fruits of over three decades of research on rock art in the Commonwealth." -- "Bowling Green Daily News"

"This excellent addition to the body of rock art literature is especially significant because it focuses on an area for the most part ignored in previous research. This book is an attempt to reach out to the general public, informing them of this cultural heritage while at the same time alerting them to the fragility of rock art and the importance of its preservation." -- "Choice"

"The first comprehensive documentation of the fragile remnants of the state's prehistoric Native American rock art sites." -- "Louisville Courier Journal"

"Would serve very well as a companion volume to books on the early history of Kentucky and as a guide to those who want to see for themselves." -- "Mountain Eagle"

""An extensive photographic guide to all known existent rock art in the state- this book is a first for Kentucky." "Excellent."" -- "The Dirt Brothers"

"This book is the first comprehensive register of the known rock art of the state of Kentucky....
