Not x-library, unclipped, unmarked. GIFT QUALITY. "Harry M. Caudill's explosive novel tells the story of Appalachia's shrewdest, most powerful political boss, Dr. Tom Bonhom. Educated well beyond his fellow mountaineers, Doc Bonhom started out as a well-paid coal company doctor. He ran for office only once-as a reform candidate-and lost. His defeat turned him to gathering political power from the influential rich instead of from the voters and he built a political machine that controlled Slaughter County for over three decades. He brought jobs, schools, roads, and millions of state and federal dollars into his county. At the same time, he unwittingly brought his people to complete dependency on government aid and unthinkingly encouraged the destruction of the countryside through strip mining. His critics claimed that Doc Bonham was an opportunist who rose as his community sank. Yet through it all, he remained as American as apple pie, and when the governor appointed him to fill an unexpired term in the U.S. Senate, he went there a hero. This book contains some adult language and may not be suitable for younger readers." Goodreads 4.0. Jim Marsh (illustratore).…

In 1789 a small band of Indians attacked the Wiley cabin and killed Jennie's three older children and her brother. Jennie was taken captive along with her baby son. Quickly, the Indians and their captives moved westward into what is now Kentucky. Jennie's only hope for herself and her child was to keep pace with her captors. The Indians moved northwest into the Big Sandy Valley of Kentucky. Unable to cross the flooded Ohio River, they retreated to a series of winter camps in present~day Carter, Lawrence, and Johnson (Kentucky) Counties. With only a rock bluff for shelter, Jennie spent the winter laboring as a slave. After almost a year in captivity, Jennie escaped, miraculously evading pursuit as she made her way to a small settlement at Harman's Station on John's Creek, where settlers helped her return to her husband. The author, Arville Wheeler. was inspired to write this book because his grandmother told him the story of Jennie Wiley when he was a child. It's a great book for readers in grades 4~8 but teenagers and adults will enjoy it. too. Bengtz, Ture (illustratore). …

Not even the savagery of the French and Indian wars could cool their fury or halt their power. But by 1770 the restless white men were warring once again. Thayendanegea, the valiant Iroquois war chief, allied his fierce tribes with the one white man the Indians loved and trusted, Sir William Johnson. Once more the frontier would erupt, pitting the Indians' unvanquished spirit against the white setters' relentless challenge. Allan W. Eckert's Narratives of America are true sagas of the brave men and courageous women who won our land. Every character and event in this sweeping series is drawn from actual history and woven into the vast and powerful epic that was America's westward expansion. Allan W. Eckert has made America's heritage an authentic, exciting, and powerful reading experience. Source: Publisher. Maxwell, John Alan (illustratore).…

Mayo, and other Sports Legends of Northeastern Kentucky has been in print less than three weeks, and author Mark Maynard s outstanding book has already sold more than 200 copies! I am proud of this book. It promotes our regions athletes, but it also reminds us of the important role that athletics play in our society and in our educational systems. By the time Mark began writing his columns in the 1970s, comprehensive high schools had emerged and high school athletics had become an integral part of our system of public education. Each fall, football became the prime focus for school athletics, just as basketball captured the community in the winter months and baseball ushered in the spring. As you read Mark Maynard s essays, you will be reminded that each sport was a major ritual occasion that involved whole communities, as well as the entire student body. As such these games became a centerpiece of regional culture. When the local team was having a bad season, an uneasiness settled over the entire community. When the local teams were winning, the entire community was caught up in the excitement. Every morning, thousands of devotees read Mark's columns in The Independent to follow the progress of their teams. Mark My Words is a wonderful trip down memory lane for many regional sports fans who will find some of their favorite memories captured in the 85 short essays in this well-written book. A personal name index and dozens of period photographs further enhance this book which is a must have for the personal library of local sports enthusiasts. Signed. …
