Our Fellow Kentuckians

ebook

This fascinating volume profiles thirty-nine significant figures in Kentucky history, from Daniel Boone to Loretta Lynn, Muhammad Ali and many others.

For years, Dr. James C. Claypool delivered an annual talk for the Kentucky Humanities Council entitled “Our Fellow Kentuckians,” which profiled a wide array of individuals with ties to the Commonwealth either by birth, residence, or family heritage. This volume expands on that famous talk, offering a rich and varied sampling of the personalities that have made Kentucky the place it is.

From intrepid pioneers and statesmen to legendary athletes, inventors, entrepreneurs, and film stars, the selected individuals were chosen to represent the widest set of demographics. And as Claypool says in his introduction, “like a wine tasting, the sketches offered are meant to give readers a taste for more.”
