Kentucky History: An Annotated Bibliography

by Ron D. Bryant

Overview

American history has been produced by the union of disparate states, each with its own ethnic, geographical and economic history. Long appreciated by the nation's local citizens, the richness and significance of local history has only recently been reevaluated by academic authorities. The number of articles and monographs on Kentucky history has increased dramatically since the last Kentucky bibliography was published in 1949. This book provides an indispensable guide to the literature on Kentucky history.
