Kent Hollingsworth captures the flavor and atmosphere of the Sport of Kings in the dramatic account of the development of the Thoroughbred in Kentucky. Ranging from frontier days, when racing was conducted in open fields as horse-to-horse challenges between proud owners, to the present, when a potential Triple Crown champion may sell for millions of dollars, The Kentucky Thoroughbred considers ten outstanding stallions that dominated the shape of racing in their time as representing the many eras of Kentucky Thoroughbred breeding. No less colorful are his accounts of the owners, breeders, trainers, and jockeys associated with these Thoroughbreds, a group devoted to a sport filled with high adventure and great hazards. First published in 1976, this popular Kentucky classic has been expanded and brought up to date in this new edition.

To most history travelers, Virginia is the Civil War. It is the state where the Battles of Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, Petersburg, the Wilderness, and Manassas took place. The city of Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy. Appomattox saw the surrender of Lee to Grant. The campaigns that were fought here were led by some of the war's most visible leaders -- Lee, Jackson, Grant, Meade, Sheridan, Stuart, Mosby.This guide also includes West Virginia, which was created from a section of Virginia early in the war.

The only state born as a result of the Civil War, West Virginia was the most divided state in the nation. About forty thousand of its residents served in the combatant forces about twenty thousand on each side. The Mountain State also saw its fair share of battles, skirmishes, raids and guerrilla warfare, with places like Harpers Ferry, Philippi and Rich Mountain becoming household names in 1861. When the Commonwealth of Virginia seceded from the Union on April 17, 1861, leaders primarily from the northwestern region of the state began the political process that eventually led to the creation of West Virginia on June 20, 1863. Renowned Civil War historian Mark A. Snell has written the first thorough history of these West Virginians and their civil war in more than fifty years.

Excerpt from Daughter of the Elm: A Tale of Western Virginia Before the War In authorizing a reprint of the Daughter of the Elm, in deference to a persistent de mand, the author craves leave to say a word of grateful acknowledgment for the attering reception the book has met. No one knows better than he that the work has but slender claim to literary merit; yet it appears to have supplied a want. It seems there is in it a similitude behind which many readers think they recognize real incidents, persons and places. But this friendly reception has not been confined to those who found this element of personal and local interest. Copies have gone into nearly every State in the Union, and some across the sea. Many letters have come from readers who knew nothing of the 10 cal similitude expressing their pleasure in the perusal; others from readers who were curious to confirm their conjectures as. To the identity of the characters in the story. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
