With over two hundred specially selected postcards created between 1900
and 1930, this visual history explores life in five Central Kentucky
counties in the early twentieth century. Family stories abound, and Main
Street scenes depict county court days, trials, and parades, together
with the stagecoaches, buggies, and trains of a bygone era. Tourist
sites such as My Old Kentucky Home, Lincoln Homestead, and Tatham
Springs are included, as well as distilleries, hotels, depots, bridges,
and a chautauqua. Images of Protestant and Catholic schools, colleges,
churches, convents, and monasteries show the reader how this area came
to be known as the Kentucky Holy Land.
