Local History In Kentucky Literature

Local History in Kentucky Literature reflects the work of Otto Arthur Rothert (1871-1956), the longtime secretary of the Filson Club and a leading historian of Kentucky. Rothert wrote the standard history of Muhlenberg County and the lurid true-crime classic The Outlaws of Cave-in-Rock, and here he surveys how Kentucky’s past has been recorded in its writing. The piece is a guide to the regional historical literature of the state. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
