Book Description
Excerpt from The Geology of Kentucky, 1919: A Classified Compend of State Reports and Other Publications, With Critical Comment Based on Original Investigations The project of preparing a work on Kentucky geology, which should be comprehensive in its scope, had been in the mind of the writer for some time. A year's release from exacting executive duties, at the end of continuous service in the University of Kentucky for a quarter century, afforded the opportunity of putting this project into effect; During all this period as head of the Department of Geology in the institution, and part of the time as member of the staff of the State Geological Survey, he had been a student of Kentucky geology. He has been encouraged in his undertaking by the reception accorded a work of similar scope for Tennessee by Professor J. M. Salford, who, a native of the same State (Ohio) as the writer, felt qualified for the task after a resident in the State of his adoption for a period of twenty-one years. An examination of Part Five of the present work will show that the bibliography of Kentucky geology is varied and large. Much valuable information is contained in the reports, monographs and papers there listed, which is now difficult of access. In the case of the older publications many are out of print and copies are rare. A large number of these publications have been consulted and an attempt has been made to cull from them their important contributions to the geology of the State, and to give credit therefor. It is the hope of the author that this work may prove acceptable to the practical man of affairs desiring information on Kentucky's natural resources. He has also had in mind in the preparation its possible use in the class room of the colleges and high schools of the State. To facilitate this latter use, the text has been given chapter groupings with paragraph sub-headings. In the compilation of this work I am under many obligations to Professors August F. Foerste and Ray S. Rassler for valuable suggestions - none the less valuable though not in every instance adopted. In some cases these came too late to be incorporated in this edition. I owe much to my brother, Dr. Marion Mills Miller, whose experience in book editing enabled him to render much appreciated assistance, especially in the compilation of the index. This last, but by no means least, department of the book is calculated to render the work valuable as a dictionary of reference no less than as a treatise.
