Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: very good. Book Club. Fine in near fine dust jacket with touch of wear to extremities. Hardcover. 445 pp with index and black and white photographs. The first settlers in Kentucky were strong-willed and keen-minded pioneers who brought with them a sense of rising hope about…the future and a dedication to democracy. Dedicated to the new republic, Kentucky emerged as a model of patriotism and military spirit, enthusiastically supporting the War of 1812 with its legendary sharpshooters. Though life in early Kentucky has often been portrayed as rugged and provincial, 'Kentucky Rising' demonstrates that the early years of statehood were an era of great optimism and progress.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - t is sometimes said that Kentucky joined the South after the Civil War, and many books have been devoted to studying the influence of the war and its aftermath on the Commonwealth. But less is known about the decades before the Civil War. In Generations of Hope: Kentucky, 1800-1865, James Ramage and… Andrea Watkins explore this crucial but often overlooked period, finding that that the early years of statehood comprised an era of great hope and progress.Ramage and Watkins demonstrate how Kentuckians looked outward, strongly supporting their country in the War of 1812 because they viewed the United States in a global context and wanted it to succeed on the world stage. Kentucky was perceived by the rest of the nation to be a leader among the states. Henry Clay, of course, was one of the great political figures of the era, but several other Kentuckians were candidates at the national level. Kentucky was a state of immigrants who brought their culture and world outlook with them, along with an optimism based on the idea that their region would participate fully in the advances of the day in science, culture, politics, education, and economics. Progress also included military advances, and the authors investigate the development of ideas about service and patriotism in a military context. The authors devote much attention to Kentuckians' complex views on slavery and its impact on the state. Indeed, the analysis of the Civil War is enhanced by understanding the context of the previous sixty years. Drawing upon a wealth of primary and secondary sources, Generations of Hope promises to be a fresh and definitive account of Kentucky's early years.This project is a co-publication with the Kentucky Historical Society.
