Download or read book Kentucky, a History of the State, Embracing a Concise Account of the Origin and Development of the Virginia Colony ... written by William Henry Perrin and published by Southern Historical Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 1979-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are probably the RAREST and MOST VALUABLE set of books ever published on early Kentucky families. Confusion has long existed concerning these titles because the authors referred to each Volume as an "Edition", causing many to believe that each "Edition" carried more than one Volume per "Edition". Only nine "Editions" (volumes) were published with two being labeled Edition No. 8. In this catalog, this Publisher is referring to the two No. 8's as 8-A and 8-B to distinguish between them. Like most works of this kind, each Edition contains first, a History of the State with its ties to early Virginia; these are followed by varying appendixes one of which contains a listing of both Federal and Confederate Troops in service from Kentucky. Following these come the very important biographical sketches of individuals and their families, many going well back into the early to mid-1700's. Unlike a contemporary, partial and rearranged edition of this series, the Publisher is following the original Perrin, Battle, and Kniffin editions as originally done, EXCEPT that the History of Kentucky and Appendixes will be separated from the sections of biographical sketches, and will appear as a separate volume. Each Edition has had a new full-name index prepared and included to assist the reader in their research.
