Postcards from the early twentieth century reveal much about America’s past, portraying almost every subject imaginable and offering modern readers a snapshot glimpse of life in days gone by. The collection within these pages explores the history of Adair, Barren, Green, Hart, and Taylor Counties, documenting the people and places, the lifestyles and landmarks of the South Central region of the Bluegrass State. From the evolution of transportation in Kentucky to such varied activities as wheat threshing, molasses production, and even moonshining,” the images captured on these cards are of great social and historical significance. Rare glimpses of churches, schools, hotels, and businesses that no longer stand make this a must-see for present-day residents of the area.Howell, Carl is the author of 'South Central Kentucky: Adair, Barren, Green, Hart, and Taylor Counties' with ISBN 9780738513935 and ISBN 0738513938.
