Good addition to my collection

Having an interest in Kentucky history this helped fill in some gaps and add to my knowledge of the state. Though it can be a tough read sometimes, I feel like I’m in a lecture, it’s mainly because the history I’m interested in was in the first half of the book and I’m pushing to get through the second half. One of my favorite parts of the book was concerning a British soldiers account of his detachment facing the lone sharp shooter from kentucky on the embankment during the war of 1812 in New Orleans.

Good starting point

I knew this book was dated when I ordered it so I got what I expected. I purchased it specifically for the purpose of understanding some of the perceptions of Kentucky (and Kentuckians) during the time it was written. I had hoped for more information on the pre-settlement history so was a bit disappointed on that front. I'm still searching for something told by the perspectives of American Indians about pre-settlement/pre-"frontier" times...if you have suggestions, please share. The Clark book was fine for what it was intended to do, but don't expect to get an "honest" and "unbiased" report from reading it. It largely deals with the political aspects of Kentucky's formation as a state. For a history pre-dating that, you'll need to keep searching.

Good Starting Point

I agree with the previous reviewer. This is a great starting point for someone interested in Kentucky history and definitely a "read before" reading "A New Kentucky History". It lays the foundation concerning the earliest portions of Kentucky history and really helped me understand the beginnings of my adopted home state. I would not have enjoyed A New Kentucky History nearly as much had I not read this book first. Well written and engrossing, a definite must have for anyone interested in the Bluegrass State. Yes, I know it's really a Commonwealth :)

This book hasn't been as helpful as I was hoping. But it is in great shape and I'm hoping to refer back to it as we continue to research our ancestors.

As a student at UK, I had the privilege of taking classes with Dr.Clark. In my estimation he is the most accomplished and knowledgable historian,
