- English family papersHoused at the University of Kentucky, Special Collections Research Center. Summary, "The English family papers (dated 1873-1983, undated; 12.2 cubic feet; 31 boxes) consist of correspondence, diaries, poetry, plays, sermons, account books, songs, audiocassettes, grooved audio discs, and photographs, which document several generations of Baptist ministers and writers in Paris and Henderson, Ky. The papers primarily document the work of poet, folk singer, actor, and playwright Logan Eberhardt English and contain many of his original songs and poems. English's papers contain drafts of his unfinished play based on the life of Cassius Clay (Box 12-13) and a copy of his notable album Logan English Sings the Woody Guthrie Songbag (Box 29, Item 6). Additionally, the papers contain materials generated by English's father Logan B. English, a baptist minister; his maternal grandfather, poet Frederick W. Eberhardt; and the LaRue family of Bourbon County, related to English through his mother. Notably, the LaRue family materials consist of account books relating to hemp farming in the late 19th century. The papers also contain several programs from literature societies in Paris and Henderson where Eberhardt and Logan B. English read their works in the late 19th century and early 20th century."

- "Clark County Road Book, 1793-1876: Index to Roads, Turnpikes, Railroads, Mills & Ferries in Clark County, Kentucky Order Books byISBN: 9781300690580Publication Date: 2005Genealogy; includes index.
Affair at Captina Creek by ISBN: 9780788411120Publication Date: 1999-03-01With the end of the Revolutionary War, the United States not only gained independence from the British Empire but also secured control of a sizable territory west of the Allegheny Mountains. Native Americans of the Ohio River Valley refused to accept claims of the fledgling nation and militantly resisted white settlements in their homelands. Constant border strife turned into open war in the spring of 1791. The Shawnee, emboldened by their defeat of General Josiah Harmar the previous autumn, crossed the Ohio River and struck the settlement of Ohio County (West) Virginia and Washington County, Pennsylvania. Affair at Captina Creek describes in stirring detail a little-known incident of this turbulent time on the American Frontier. Following the massacre of several young girls in Washington County, a company of frontier rangers was dispatched from Ryersons Station to nearby Bakers Fort with the intention of retaliation. Bakers Fort stood on the Ohio River in what is now Marshall County, West Virginia. As the rangers tracked the warriors down Captinas winding path, little did they know that they were walking into an ambush from which many would not return. Enoch has researched and reconstructed the events using original documents and information gained during his travels through the region. Personal testimonies of those who survived the Battle of Captina Creek have been combined with second-hand accounts of other settlers, contemporary newspaper articles, excerpts from the biography of General Duncan McArthur and the Lyman Draper Manuscripts. Photographs, illustrations, detailed maps, and a full name index add to the value of this work.
African Americans at Fort Boonesborough, 1775-1784 by ISBN: 9780359637645Publication Date: 2019-05-06The purpose of this study is to chronicle the lives of African Americans who were at Fort Boonesborough. We limited the scope of our narrative to the years the fort stood, 1775 and 1784. Fort Boonesborough is one of Kentucky's most historic places. It was the wilderness outpost of Richard Henderson's Transylvania Company and, for a few years, was home to Daniel Boone. Due to Boone's involvement, few places in early Kentucky have been so well documented and written about. It will surprise no one to learn that the early records and subsequent historical accounts mainly involve the white males who settled there. There are biographical sketches for Monk Estill, the ?black Indian? Pompey, Frederick Hart, John Sidebottom, and others less well known. Our work identifies only a fraction of the pioneer African Americans of Kentucky. Many more deserve to be remembered and commemorated.- Assessment of the Hazardous Waste Treatment/Industrial Park Concept byPublication Date: 198274 pages; illustrations.
Captain Billy Bush and the Bush Settlement, Clark County, Kentucky, a Family History by ISBN: 9781329640665Publication Date: 2015-10-23No one played a more important role in the settlement of Clark County than Capt. William "Billy" Bush. Born in Orange County, Virginia, Billy came out with Daniel Boone in 1775, resided for a time at Fort Boonesborough, then spent the rest of his life living a few miles from the fort. He thus became one of the first permanent settlers in Kentucky. He thus became one of the first permanent settlers in Kentucky. He fought in the "Indian Wars" from the Battle of Point Pleasant (1774) to General Harmar's defeat (1790). Billy was also a key figure in establishing Providence Baptist Church, the first church in Clark County. Their place of worship-the Old Stone Church-is now the oldest church on Kentucky soil. Billy Bush laid claim to thousands of acres of land between Winchester and the Kentucky River, and Daniel Boone ran the surveys for him. This land became the foundation of the Bush Settlement. 392 pages, indexed- Clearing the Air: The Acid Rain Issue in Perspective, An Explanation of the Science and Politics of Acid Rain and the Proposed Control Legislation byPublication Date: 198339 pages; illustrations, maps.

How did a place come to be called the "Wolf Pen" or the "Shot Factory"? Where in the world were the "Indian Old Fields" and "Brandenburg's Mill"? Researching these names often reveals fascinating stories about local history, families, events, and politics. Clark County, Kentucky is blessed with many such interesting places. The articles in this book are collected from a column in the Winchester Sun called "Where in the World? " Each article describes an historic place or person in Clark County, some well known, some not so well known. The articles were written for the Bluegrass Heritage Museum in hopes of fostering an interest in local history and the Museum. This book is intended to do the same. This work includes 62 articles that appeared in the Sun between September 6, 2007 to June 3, 2016. A few articles were updated for this publication after additional information became available.
