Compiled from three sources... CLARK COUNTY, KENTUCKY and the City of Winchester New 53 Page Illustrated Booklet with Maps Early days in Clark County, KY, are recalled in this new 53-page booklet titled: Clark County, Kentucky, USA The spiral-bound booklet is a compilation of excerpts from several hard to find sources: the 1877 Atlas of Burbon, Clark, Fayette, Jessamine and Woodford Counties, KY (maps only), the Handbook of Clark County and the City of Winchester (1889), and Kentucky, a Guide to the Bluegrass State , a 1939 product of the WPA Writer's Program. The tri-color cover is printed on 80# card stock and protected with a vinyl sheet. The text is printed on 8.5" x 11" 60# paper. Although the writer of the handbook states that it is not "designed to be a biographical dictionary", there are nonetheless a number of prominent citizens mentioned, sometimes with photographs of themselves and/or their homes. The writer further states that "the keynote of the book is to present Winchester and Clark county as they are" -- but 128 years later "as they are" can only be viewed as a history. Among the many subjects included are: a 1793 description of the area; Geology of the area; Agricultural Resources and Cattle Raising; Population; the City of Winchester, county seat; public schools of Winchester, and its various improvements and businesses; read more
