Book Description
Although they are commonplace in American homes, quilts are much more than simple patchwork bed coverings and wall adornments. While many of these beautiful and intricate works of art are rich in history and tradition, others reflect the cutting-edge talent and avant-garde mastery of contemporary quiltmakers. Kentucky Quilts and Quiltmakers: Three Centuries of Creativity, Community, and Commerce is the first comprehensive study to approach quilts as objects of material culture that have adorned homes throughout the history of the commonwealth and the country. Linda Elisabeth LaPinta highlights such topics as quiltmaking in women's history, the influence of early Black quiltmakers, popular Kentucky quilt patterns, types, and colors, and the continuing importance of preserving the commonwealth's quilt history and traditions. The author provides a panoramic view of Kentucky quiltmaking from colonial America through the American Revolution, the Civil War to the 1900s, to the new millennium and the dynamic quilting industry of today. LaPinta reveals Kentucky's pivotal role in shaping significant aspects of American quilt culture—Kentuckians founded the first statewide quilt documentation project, created important exhibits and major quilt organizations, and established the National Quilt Museum. Rounding out this all-encompassing volume is a collection of fascinating and intimate artistic commentaries by notable quiltmakers, as well as discussion of the key players who have conserved, celebrated, and showcased the commonwealth's extraordinary quilt culture.

Book Description
This no frills abstraction of Kentucky Wills and inventories contains only hard facts, which the author painstakingly gathered from original documents that cross seven decades and provide hundreds of names for genealogical research. It includes entries from thirty-eight counties, among them the first three formed; Fayette, Lincoln, and Jefferson, and gives details from documents that are affirmed, witnessed and sworn to by surviving relatives or interested parties. The data is arranged in a straightforward, linear format, separated by county, each with its own index, and includes dates between 1780 and 1840. A general thirty-page surname index allows for quick referencing. The will entries give two dates; the first is the date of the instrument and the second is the date of probate. They offer details about land transfers and bequeathals and include the names of appointed executors, guardians, and family members including in-laws. The estate inventory lists reflect numerous personal items as well as household goods, furniture, livestock, and in some instances, slaves. If you are looking for evidence of hereditary ties to Kentucky these compiled notations of legal actions may include the link you seek that will connect you to solid proof of your family's presence in the state.
