21. Kentucky: A Guide to the Bluegrass State

Date Acquired: October 6, 2015
Where Purchased: Rhino Booksellers Charlotte Avenue, Nashville, TN
Price Paid: $15

Read Status: Read (January 28, 2016)

Notes/Thoughts

• Has book jacket and map in pocket of back cover
• American Guide Series
• Unfortunately, as reading I've found it's missing a lot of pages. At first it didn't really bother me because it was just the photo insert pages, but then I found the page with the Lexington map missing and that page had text on the back, which was particularly annoying in that it was the rest of the information on the Mary Todd Lincoln home.
• With all the mentions of the Big Sandy River, the song "Boatin' Up Sandy River" got stuck in my head reading this. (I'm familiar with it from the Bourbon Barrel Congress version.)
• p. 423 - "There are so many thrilling stories and legends of Daniel Boone’s adventures that the simplicity of the man has been quite obscured….Asked once if he ever got lost, he hesitated a moment; “not lost, so to speak,” he said, “but sometimes bewildered." - But is this quote about being bewildered and not lost a legend or not?

Notes/Thoughts

• I've been trying to find Dinner at Belmont to complete the trilogy, but I only spotted Breakfast at the Hermitage here. I had saved this book on my wish list, too, though. I also almost bought another one of his books they had, but he wrote that one in the 1950s and I also found a Federal Writer's Project book to buy here making it three books this Nashville trip already.
