Description
In this informative and chatty account, lawyer W. H. Perrin and co-author J. M. Tydings (who contributed six of the fifteen chapters) take you through the history of Christian County in the west of Kentucky while giving you the benefit of their opinions on everything from the injustice done to the Indians to how the poor-farm should have been run and the arrogance of newspaper editors. Though prone to Victorian lyricism ("Her whole life was the grand simple poem of rugged, toilsome duty... and her name should only be whispered in humble reverence"), Perrin and Tydings know how to make history come to life. Chapters I-VII are devoted to Christian County in general. Chapters VIII-X cover Hopkinsville, both the City and the Precinct. The last four chapters, finally, describe the other precincts of Christian County: Bainbridge, Casky, Fruit Hill, Garrettsburg, Hamby, Lafayette, Longview, Mount Vernon, Pembroke, Scates' Mill, Stewart, Union Schoolhouse, and Wilson Precinct. A new every-name index contains more than eleven hundred family names.
