Excerpt from Cincinnati in 1841: Its Early Annals and Future Prospects On the other hand, I knew that awork of this kind, to fulfil, in any just degree, the expectations it raised, must make its appearance within a reasonable period, and before the information it should afford might be present ed ih other channels to the public; and thus, with but four months' time for preparing this work, which most persons would probably think ample space for the pur pose, I have found myself hurried in my employment, to a degree which must account for, if it may not excuse, that want of order in arrangement, and those defects in composition, which greater leisure would have corrected.

Bourbon whiskey is perhaps Kentucky's most distinctive product. Despite bourbon's prominence in the social and economic life of the Bluegrass state, many myths and legends surround its origins. In Kentucky Bourbon, Henry C. Crowgey claims that distilled spirits and pioneer settlement went hand in hand; Isaac Shelby, the state's first governor, was among Kentucky's pioneer distillers. Crowgey traces the drink's history from its beginnings as a cottage industry to steam-based commercial operations in the period just before the Civil War. From "spirited" camp meetings, to bourbon's use as a medium of exchange for goods and services, to the industry's coming of age in the mid-nineteenth century, the story of Kentucky bourbon is a fascinating chapter in the state's early history.
