Kentucky in the Nation's HistoryMoffat, Yard, 1909 - 590 Seiten In the preparation of the present volume, I have studied the local collections from the point of view of one primarily interested in the nation. Such local events as have had a distinctly national influence, as well as such national events as have particulary affected local conditions, have been my concern. A typical example of the first is presented in the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, and, of the second, in the purchase of Louisiana. |
