McQueen has done it again,

This review is from: Offbeat Kentuckians: Legends to Lunatics (Paperback)
If you are a Kentuckian, this should be required reading. If you are not a Kentuckian, read it anyway; it is one of the most interesting collection of people you'll ever read about. If nonfiction is your cup of tea, take a long swallow of this fascinating tome.
5.0 out of 5 stars
