The Richmond Register...."Teachers and librarians are buying the books for their students and using it to make history interesting again."

The Paducah Sun...."The book tells the story of 23 people, ranging from internationally known militant prohibitionist Carry Nation and Hopkinsville psychic Edgar Cayce to folksy legends such as Anderson County's Wandering Ben Wilson."

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.

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK! I LOVED IT! IT IS AN EASY READ FILLED WITH NEAT STORIES THAT WILL KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED FOR HOURS! IT WOULD ALSO MAKE A GREAT GIFT! CHECK IT OUT! YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID!

Who said history was boring? Well, they apparently haven't read this book. McQueen tells stories of Kentuckians who made life a litte more interesting and were sometimes challenged by reality. McQueen has you walking down memory lane of your own hometowns peculiar folk. This should be at the top of any history lovers list of must read.
