Abstract:
In this thorough revision of his classic account, Malcolm J. Rohrbough tells the dramatic story of the men and women of the first Kentucky settlements to the closing of the American frontier. The author divides his narrative into major time periods designed to establish categories of description and analysis, presenting case studies that focus on the county, the town, the community, and the family, as well as politics and urbanization.
