5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for Kentuckians and Bluegrass natives, December 13, 2005

This review is from: Kentucky III (Hardcover)

The third in his series, James Archambeault manages to seek out more subjects sure to delight Kentuckians while capturing the traditional images that make our Bluegrass famous. From quaint towns, to forest settings, Archambeault puts on glossy paper what we love to remember from visits to Red River Gorge and Raven Run Nature Sanctuary and takes us to places we've never been, to festivals we didn't know occurred at the opposite end of the Commonwealth, and introduces us to people we might never meet. He points out red and black barns on winding country roads that we never stopped to notice, amidst cattle grazing on emerald grass fresh from seasonal rainstorms. But don't underestimate Archambeault--he will provide the reader the full Kentucky experience, taking him to the city of Louisville for the famous Derby at Churchill Downs, and to the central city of Lexington to experience Wildcat fever basketball. Whether you're a loyal fan of James Archambeault's work or browsing for an item that represents all the beauty that Kentucky has to offer, Archambeault once again lives up to his well-deserved reputation.
